Velocity is the time rate of change of position of a body in a specified direction.

Equation

Average velocity can be calculated using the following equation:

[math]\displaystyle{ \boldsymbol{\bar{v}} = \frac{\Delta\boldsymbol{x}}{\Delta\mathit{t}} }[/math] ,

where [math]\displaystyle{ {\Delta\boldsymbol{x}} }[/math] is the change of direction of the object and [math]\displaystyle{ {\Delta\mathit{t}} }[/math] is the change of time.

The SI unit for velocity is meters per second (m/s).
