Defined as the change in position of an object (displacement)
per unit of time. Velocity, unlike speed, takes into account the
direction of travel relative to a base point. v = s/t (where v
and s are vectors) Where (using SI units): v is the velocity of
the body in metres per second (ms^-1) s is the displacement of
the body in metres (m) t is the time taken to travel from the
initial point to the final point in seconds (s) 1. (One
dimension) If you start at point A and travel directly north to
point B which is ten metres away, and it takes you five seconds
to get there, your velocity will be 2ms^-1 due north. 2. (One
dimension) If you travel west for a ten seconds at 1ms^-1, take
a break for twenty seconds and then travel for another ten
seconds at 1ms^-1, your velocity for the trip will be .05ms^-1
due west. 3. (Two dimension) If you start at point A and travel
north at 3kmh^-1 for two hours, and then instantaneously change
direction and travel due east for four hours at a speed of
2kmh^-1 to point B, your v
