Velocity is a measurement of speed in a certain direction of motion. It is a fundamental concept in kinematics, the branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of physical objects. Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning that both magnitude and direction are needed to define it (velocity vector). The scalar absolute value (magnitude) of velocity is called , a quantity that is measured in metres per second (m/s or m⋅s−1) in the SI (International System of Units) system. For example, "5 metres per second" is a scalar, whereas "5 metres per second east" is a vector. If there is a chang
Velocity measures how fast something is moving in a particular direction, combining both speed and direction into one concept. It matters because it's a fundamental tool scientists and engineers use to describe and predict how physical objects move.

Velocity is a measurement of speed in a certain direction of motion. It is a fundamental concept in kinematics, the branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of physical objects.

For example, "5 metres per second" is a scalar, whereas "5 metres per second east" is a vector. If there is a change in speed, direction or both, then the object is said to be undergoing an acceleration.
== Definition == === Average velocity === The average velocity of an object over a period of time is its change in position, divided by the duration of the period, given mathematically as \bar{v}=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}.
