velocity
velocity (symbol v) Rate of motion of a body in a certain direction. Velocity is a
vector (magnitude and direction), whereas
speed, which does not specify direction, is a
scalar. Velocity can also be a measurement of how quickly an object changes its position in a given direction. An object's velocity can be found in the same manner as speed, by dividing the distance
s it has travelled by the time
t taken, and this is expressed as
v=s/t and given in metres per second (ms
-1) or kilometres/miles per hour. Velocity is then stated, for example, as ‘60kph/37mph eastward’. Positive and negative values to represent movement in opposite directions can be shown on both a velocity-time graph and a displacement-time graph (movement from a fixed position).
