  1. speed: distance travelled per unit time
  2. In physics, velocity is the rate of change of displacement (position). It is a vector physical quantity; both magnitude and direction are required to define it. ...

  10. The number of times a dollar is spent, or turns over, in a specific period of time. Velocity affects the amount of economic activity generated by a given money supply.
  11. 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. ...
  12. Rate of product movement through a warehouse.
  13. The time measurement of linear motion (flow) in a given direction. For example, water flowing 60 feet in a conduit each minute has a velocity of 60 feet per minute (fpm) or one foot per second ( 1 fps).
  14. The speed at which the floodwaters are moving. Typically, modeled velocities in a river or creek are quoted as the depth and width averaged velocity, i.e. the average velocity across the whole river or creek section.
  15. how fast something moves in a certain direction

  17. The rate of change of displacement with respect to time. (m/s)
  18. The rate at which money balances turn over in a period for expenditures on goods and services (often measured as the ratio of GNP-gross national product-to the money stock). A larger velocity means that a given quantity of money is associated with a greater dollar volume of transactions.
