Usually meters/second, but it could be miles per hour or kilometers per hour. Essentially velocity is speed and is measured in unit distance per unit time.

Which units can velocity be expressed?
(any unit of length) / (any unit of time) is a unit that can be used for the magnitude (size) of velocity, and must always be accompanied by a description of direction. Without it, all you have is a speed, not a velocity.
What is velocity expressed in?
velocity is expressed in m/s
What is a synonym for velocity?
There is no synonym to velocity. there is no directionality in velocity. speed is a measure of rotation around a center expressed in revolutions per unit of time. Velocity is a measure of distance in units of time with no direction. Vectors indicate direction.
Velocity may be expressed in which units?
ft/s; mi/h; km/h; m/s; cm/s These mean feet per second; miles per hour; kilometers per hour; meters per second; and centimeter per second. These are the most common units given for speed. (However, velocity and speed are not the same thing. Velocity includes the directionality of the speed.) Velocity may be expressed as cms-1 in CGS unit and as ms-1 in SI unit. Velocity can be expressed in units of distance over time such as meters per second, miles per hour, feet per second. Or as any unit of distance, divided by any unit of time. The SI unit is meters/second. A commonly used unit is kilometers/hour. The SI unit is meters/second, but any length unit divided by any time unit may be used, for example kilometers per hour, cm/minute, AU/week, etc. m/s (any unit of length) / (any unit of time)
What is the velocity of a car that travels 556kilometers northeast in 3.4 hours?
The average velocity during that time is exactly 556km/3.4hr northeast. The magnitude, expressed in a more familiar unit, is roughly 163.529 km/hr. (rounded)
Which best describe what occurs when a body acceleration?
Change in velocity per unit time Change in velocity per unit time Change in velocity per unit time change in velocity per unit time.
What are Units of particle motions?
"Motion" can be expressed in units of speed. Or it might refer to momentum - in which case you would use any unit of mass x velocity.
What is the difference between volicity and accleration?
Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).
What is S.i unit for wave velocity?
The SI unit for ANY velocity is meters / second.
What would be a correct unit of measurement for velocity?
Its Distance per Interval of Time. As in miles per hour (mph), or feet per second (fps). Generally the faster the object is traveling, the velocity is expressed in smaller units of time.
What is the difference between and accleration?
Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).Acceleration is a change of velocity (per time unit).
Expressed as the distance divided by time?
Speed or velocity can be expressed as the distance divided by time.
