Question

When to use velocity=displacement/time and velocity=s/t? I mean, whats the main difference? please explain clearly?

Answer 1

its the very same thing
s stands for displacement
whereas t stands for time

Answer 2

@paarth - s stands for distance, and displacement and distance are different! one is vector while the other is a scaler quantity.

Answer 3

@jahanvi as far as i know, and i think i know correctly, s is the symbol for displacement

Answer 4

well, lets see..

Answer 5

speed= distance/time
distance is the total length of the motion
displacement is the final position minus the initial position
velocity= displacement/time

Answer 6

@Natan - Tenks! :)
