In physics, velocity is most commonly measured in meters per second (m/s). However, you can measure velocity in other units as well.
Here are a few more: feet per second (ft/s), miles per hour (mph).
Please note that velocity is a vector quantity, which means not only do you need a speed but you also need a direction. Many people interchange speed and velocity in common language. Yet most don't understand the difference between the two.
For example, if you say I was going 70 miles per hour on the freeway, you are describing your speed. But if you say I was going 70 mph on the north bound freeway, that is a velocity because it has a direction.
the unit of velocity is m/s

∙ 11y ago"Velocity" means a speed and its direction.
-- The unit of speed is any unit of length/any unit of time.
The SI derived unit of speed is meters/second.
-- Direction can be any convenient method of indicating a direction.

∙ 12y agoA unit of magnitude of velocity is [ (any unit of length) divided by (any unit of time) ].
The direction of velocity is indicated by any dimensionless quantity that can be used
to describe a direction.

Which of the followin is not a unit used to express velocity?
The list of choices got cut off of your question. Here are some units that don't express velocity: -- dollars -- pounds -- degrees (of temperature) -- degrees (of angles) -- degrees (of freedom) -- weeks -- miles -- miles per hour (without a direction) -- Gs (for "Gravity") -- joules -- watts -- decibels
What units are used to express a heat transfer?
conduction, convention, and radiation
Which combination of fundamental units can be used to express energy?
Kgxm2/s2
Is velocity a derived unit?
Velocity is displacement per unit time. Therefore the units of velocity are derived units (ms-1)
What is the standard units of velocity?
Velocity is speed and its direction. The units of velocity are any unit of speed and any means of indicating a direction.
Is meters per second a way to express units in velocity?
No, velocity is a vector, not a scalar. Metres per second is a way to express speed but to express velocity you also need a direction.
What units are used to express distance?
metre
What units are used to express energy and work?
joules

Which of the units that can be used to describe vector quantities?
Units that are used for measures in which the direction is relevant. Example are displacement, velocity, acceleration, force.
What unit is used to express velocity?
meter's per second[ms-1]
What units are used to express volume measurements?
cubic or cubed
Which are units used to express volume?
liter and cubic centimeter
Which are the units used to express volume?
liter and cubic centimeter
What units are used to express sound intensity?
volts
What are units used to express the volume of gas?
The most common units used to express the volume of gas are liters (L) and cubic meters (m³). Other units such as milliliters (mL) and cubic centimeters (cm³) are also used for smaller volumes.
What units is the most often used to express the size of microbes?
