Calculating Velocity

An object's velocity has two parts: the object’s speed and the direction of its movement. To find an object’s velocity, first calculate its speed and then indicate the direction of its movement! In this physical science worksheet, students will review how to calculate velocity given time and distance and then apply this process to several diverse word problems. This physical science worksheet gives seventh- and eighth-grade learners an opportunity to compare the velocities of two objects in a variety of scenarios and offers practice working with both whole numbers and decimals.
