V = x/t (Velocity formula)

Definition

This formula represents the relationship between velocity (V), displacement (x), and time (t). It states that velocity is equal to displacement divided by time.

Analogy

Imagine riding your bike from one end of your street to another in 10 minutes. Your velocity would be calculated by dividing the distance you traveled (displacement) by the time it took.
