Best Answer

Miles per hour or feet per second gives you the size of the velocity.

But that's only a speed. In order to make a velocity, you also have to

indicate what direction the speed is in.

You would divide some unit of distance by some unit of time. In the English system, feet/second and mile/hour are commonly used.

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 is the metric unit that a wave's velocity is measued in?

The speed of anything is measured in metres per second. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity is a vector, that is it has direction and well as magnitude. So velocity would be measured in metres per second in a certain direction.


Can heat be measured in degrees Fahrenheit?

No, Fahrenheit is the Imperial Unit for temperature, not heat. Heat is energy in transit and is measured in joules (in the SI sytem).


In what unit is velocity measured?

Velocity is the ratio of two fundamental physical quantities: distance and time, and iscomputed as the distance an object moves divided by the time in which it moves. InSI units distance is measured in meters, and time in seconds. Therefore in SI unitsvelocity is measured in meters/sec. However velocity can be measured in any unitsof distance per time: miles/hour, inches/year, micrometers/decade. As long as youhave a unit of distance in the numerator and a unit of time in the denominator youhave an acceptable unit for velocity.So far, to this point, what you have is the sizeof the velocity, also called "speed".To make a velocity out of a speed, you must indicate the direction of the speed.


What is the measured in velocity in the metric system?

Velocity is a vector, which means it has both size and direction. The size of a velocity is its speed, speed is measured in metres per second, faster speeds are measured in kilometres per hour. ; but the official base unit is metres per second.


Velocity and speed are alike because?

Both are measured in meters/second, or some similar unit of distance/time.
