v = v_{1} + v_{2}

$v = v_1 + v_2$

(v_{1}) Velocity 1

$(v_1)"Velocity 1"$

(v_{2}) Velocity 2

$(v_2)"Velocity 2"$

The Velocity Addition calculator computes the sum of two velocities (v₁ and v₂).

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

(v₁) Velocity 1
(v₂) Velocity 2

Velocity Addition (v): The calculator returns the sum of the two velocities (v) in meters per seconds. However, this can be automatically converted into other velocity units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The formula for the sum of two velocities is:

v = v₁ + v₂

where:

v is the sum of two velocities
v₁ is the first velocity
v₂ is the second velocity

Velocity Calc: This has numerous velocity related functions.
Sum of Velocities: This computes the sum of two velocities.
