Aerospace | 1. = speed. See note. 2. A vector quantity equal to speed in a given direction.In sense 1, velocity is often used synonymously with speed, as in the velocity of the airplane, but in such contexts speed is properly the preferred term; except in the compound airspeed, velocity is preferred to speed in reference to motion of air or other fluid.Symbol V.

Finance | (1) the rate at which money flows from one transaction to another. The number of times money changes hands in a given time period. (2) the rate at which total money in circulation is spent on goods and services in a given time period (usually measured as the ratio of GNP to the money stock). Greater velocity thus means that a given amount of money is used for a higher dollar volume of transactions. (references) |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Velocity is a vector measurement of the rate and direction of motion. The scalar absolute value (magnitude) of velocity is speed. Velocity can also be defined as rate of change of displacement.
In both mechanics the average speed v of an object moving a distance d during a time interval t is described by the simple formula:
The kinetic energy (movement energy) of a moving object is linear with both its mass and the square of its velocity:
