a rate of change of position in relation to time
Helpful?           0
The rate at which an object moves. In other words, how far an object moves in a given amount of time (usually meters/sec in physics). Wave velocity is the rate that waves propagate through a medium and is affected by the medium. You can measure the velocity of waves by measuring how far a waves moves and dividing this by the time the wave takes to move that distance. Back to Wave Index

The rate of change of movement measured in metres/second (m/s) in metric. Ground vibrations are usually measured in terms of the velocity of a particular point on the ground. This velocity reflects change in displacement of the ground, although after the shaking, the point on the ground will almost always return to where it started. The movement is said to be elastic and doesn?t result in any permanent movement.

vector quantity equal to the rate that position changes with time. Weight: The force on an object resulting from gravity. Yield stress: A material loaded beyond its yield stress, no longer exhibits linear elastic behavior. Metals, particularly mild steel, generally have a very well defined yield stress compared to other materials. Yield stress is sometimes called yield strength.

The speed in feet per minute at which air is moving at any location (e.g., through a duct, inlet damper, outlet damper, fan discharge point, etc.). When the performance data for air-handling equipment is given in feet per minute, conversion to cubic feet per minute can be made by multiplying the feet per minute by the duct area.

Helpful?           0
The velocity of an object refers to the speed and direction in which it moves. If you drive north to your work place and your speedometer reads 35 miles per hour, then your velocity is 35 miles per hour in a northward direction. Velocity is speed with a direction and is important in understanding bumper car collisions.
