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, which means it implies direction. For velocity to be measured, net displacement must occur. If an object ends at the same location it began, it has zero velocity, no matter how much distance it traveled. This differentiates velocity from speed, which measures distance traveled rather than net displacement.
