Derived unit of velocity

Velocity

Velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement with respect to time. It is nothing but the speed at which an object moves in a particular direction. It is a vector quantity. It needs both magnitude and direction to represent it.

Mathematically, velocity is given as

V = D/t

where, V = Velocity, D = displacement, and t = time

The units of velocity are meter/second (m/s).
