Yes. Actually, to use the precise physics term, if you don't specify a direction (or the direction is irrelevant) it is a speed; when a direction is specified (i.e., you have a vector), it is a velocity.

What units is velocity expressed in?

Velocity may be expressed as cm/second in CGS units and as m/sec in SI units. Other units include kilometers/hour (kph), miles per hour (mph), and feet/sec (fps)


Velocity is expressed in what type of unit?

Usually meters/second, but it could be miles per hour or kilometers per hour. Essentially velocity is speed and is measured in unit distance per unit time.

What are all units for velocity?

Velocity is commonly measured in miles per hour, or kilometers per hour, or feet per second, or meters per second. We could come up with other units, but those are the usual ones.
