displacement divided by time gives

velocity

The quantity obtained by dividing displacement by time is called velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that represents the rate of change of displacement with respect to time. To calculate velocity, you need to know the displacement and the time taken.

The formula for velocity is:
Velocity = Displacement / Time

Displacement refers to the change in position or distance between the initial and final points. It has both magnitude and direction, so it is represented as a vector. Displacement can be measured in units such as meters (m), kilometers (km), or miles (mi).

Time is the duration or interval over which the displacement occurs. It is typically measured in seconds (s), minutes (min), hours (hr), or any other appropriate unit of time.

To calculate velocity, divide the displacement by the time taken:
Velocity = Displacement / Time

For example, if an object travels a distance of 100 meters in 10 seconds, the velocity would be:
Velocity = 100 meters / 10 seconds = 10 meters per second (m/s)

So, dividing displacement by time gives you the velocity.
