Velocity measured in displacement over time units, such as m/s, km/h, mi/h .
That gives you the size of the velocity, also called "speed"
In order to make a velocity out of a speed, you must also indicate the direction
of the speed.

∙ 14y agoThe SI unit would be meters per second. Kilometers per hour are also used, especially outside the scientific community. In the United States, miles/hour are commonly used; another unit is a fraction of the speed of light in vacuum, for example "0.9c" (0.9 times the speed of light). This last one is the most "natural", because of the special role the speed of light hs in the Universe (among others, it is an upper limit for speeds).
For a velocity, you must also indicate a direction. If the direction is irrelevant, you talk about a "speed".

What is the formula for time when dealing with velocity and acceleration?
Velocity is measured in m/s and the direction is mentioned. Speed is also measured in m/s but the direction is not mentioned.Acceleration is measured in m2/s; it is the rate of change of velocity.
What is the deffinition of velocity?
Velocity is the speed of an object in a given direction. It is typically measured in meters/second.
How velocity changes with time?
It changes if a force is applied to the body whose velocity is being measured.
The velocity of light was first measured by?
Olaf Roemer
How is velocity measured?
FPS - Feet Per Second
Velocity is the combination of?
Velocity is measured by a combination of speed and direction.
What is height measured in?
it can be. if you wanted to.
How is gravitational acceleration measured?
final velocity - initial velocity divided by time
What is velocity-time relation?
Velocity is measured as distanced traveled over time
Constant speed is measured by what?
Velocity is measured in meters/second in the S.I. system.
What is the formula for time when dealing with velocity and acceleration?
Velocity is measured in m/s and the direction is mentioned. Speed is also measured in m/s but the direction is not mentioned.Acceleration is measured in m2/s; it is the rate of change of velocity.
How are the levels of hurricanes measured?
wind velocity
When do you know an objects velocity?
When you have calculated or measured it.
Suppose velocity is measured kmhr and time is measured in hourswhat is that unit of acceleration?
If velocity is km/hr and time is in hours then acceleration will be in km/hr2
What is the average velocity of this stream as measured by the virtual stadia rod and velocity sensor?
.64
What the different between velocity and speed?
Speed is scalar quantity and velocity is a vector - velocity has both speed AND direction (You might say that velocity is speed with an attitude!)
What is the deffinition of velocity?
Velocity is the speed of an object in a given direction. It is typically measured in meters/second.
