Velocity is the change in displacement with respect to time. ... Because displacement is a vector counterpart, it makes velocity a vector quantity. The magnitude of velocity is speed. And to get the average velocity(s), or speed, you have to divide the total displacement, or total distance, by the time(/) it took the body to travel the allotted distance, therefore s = d/t. ... Many physical quantities are vectors, for example, force, velocity, and momentum. Thus, in specifying a force, one must state not only how large it is but also in what direction it acts.
Velocity is directly connected to acceleration, which is very important in my experiments. Acceleration is the change in the velocity of a body with respect to time.
