Displacement = 24 m east. Velocity = displacement ÷ time. Velocity = 24 m ÷ 3 s = 8 m/s east. The velocity of the car is 8 m/s east. A plane flies 400 m east from point A in 20 s. The plane then ...

This is the maximum velocity it can reach when all the forces are balanced. The size and direction of the resultant force enables us to describe how the motion of the object changes. For example ...
