What measures the rate of change in velocity?
Police measur speed with a radar gun. It uses the Doppler effect to find speed. You can measure distance traveled and use a stopwatch to measure speed yourself. You asked about velocity, however. Velocity is the combination of speed and direction. To measure velocity, you have to track the direction of travel. For that, either a compass, a chart or some other measure.
