Symbol: <v>
Vf
In science the symbol that is used to represent speed is a lowercase v for velocity. Remember that an objects velocity is a vector. It has a magnitude and a direction. Velocity is most commonly given units of m/s.
usually omega, it looks like a curvy w
"v" is short for velocity. Now, "velocity" is not exactly the same as "speed" (velocity includes the direction - in other words, it is a vector), so it may be a misnomer in some cases. I believe "s" is avoided because the symbol is often used for distances.

Vel
Velocity's' symbol is represented by a simple: "V".
Vf
Generally referred to as velocity, the symbol is v.

C is ussally the symbol used to denote the velocity of light.
The lowercase Greek letter "omega" is often used - it looks like a rounded "w". (When this symbol is used, angular velocity is usually specified in radians per second.)The lowercase Greek letter "omega" is often used - it looks like a rounded "w".

Motion in physics means velocity or acceleration. v = change in displacement/ change in time = s/t a = change in velocity/ change in time = v/t NB in Science it is important to use the correct symbol including case. v is velocity but V is volume; a is acceleration but A is the symbol given to Mass Number; Ar is relative mass; t is time but T is temperature
