    Speed equation
    Imagine that your are traveling in a circle that has a 4 mile circumference at a constant speed of 30 mph. How long does it take you to make one complete revolution around the circle? What is your average speed for the trip? What is your average velocity for the trip? Why are they not the same?

    Two type of velocity
    1. linear 2. angular
    When you talking about second one than you should not count it mile/second. But you should count it in rpm, degree/min, radian/ second
    If your circumfarance is 4 mile than dia of circle is 1.273077 mile so for completing one revolution you need 8 min at average speed of 30 mile/ hour.
