Quadratic Equation Solver (ax² + bx + c = 0)
About Velocity Calculator
The Velocity ($v = d/t$) & Average Speed Calculator computes linear speed, vector displacement velocity, initial/final velocities from acceleration ($v_f = v_i + at$), terminal velocity ($v_t$), Mach numbers (speed of sound), and converts between mph, km/h, knots, m/s, and ft/s.

Key Terminology & Definitions
Velocity
The rate of change of an object's position with respect to a frame of reference, characterized by both magnitude (speed) and direction.
Knot (kn)
A unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour ($1\text{ knot} = 1.852\text{ km/h} \approx 1.15078\text{ mph}$).
