velocity

Velocity is a vector with a direction and magnitude.  The most common units for velocity are kilometers per hour (km/h) and miles per hour (mph).  Speed is an instantaneous component of velocity without a direction and can share the same units.

The formula for mean velocity is:

    v = Δx/Δt
