To find the velocity of a car given its distance traveled and the time taken, you can use the formula for average velocity:

Average velocity (v_avg) = Distance traveled (d) / Time taken (t)

If you have the values for distance traveled and time taken, you can simply divide the distance by the time to obtain the average velocity. However, please note that this will give you the average velocity over the entire duration of the journey, not the instantaneous velocity at any specific moment.

For example, if the car traveled a distance of 100 meters in 20 seconds, you can calculate the average velocity as follows:

v_avg = 100 meters / 20 seconds

v_avg = 5 meters per second

Therefore, the average velocity of the car is 5 meters per second.
