A metaphor is a figurative language device that represents one thing as if it were another, or compares two things not normally viewed as similar, such as time is a thief. This comparison draws attention to the way time is quick and stealthy. Simile
Velocity is the rate of motion, speed or action. An example of velocity is a car driving at 75 miles per hour. velocity. pl. velocity. pl. Rapidity or speed of motion; swiftness. Physics A vector quantity whose magnitude is a body's speed and whose direction is the body's direction of motion.
Velocity is a vector quantity that shows the change in distance, time and direction. Depending upon your physics problem, you may know several variables and need to calculate final velocity or average velocity. Choose 1 of the formulas below to calculate velocity.. Plug displacement and time into the equation. Solve the equation. 1  For example, Velocity=50m west/4 hours. 2  In this problem, the average velocity of the biker is 12.5 mph (20.1 km/h) to the west. 3  If you know the initial velocity and the final velocity, you can calculate average velocity in another manner.
