Velocity is displacement divided by time. Displacement is different from distance traveled, as displacement states how far you traveled in RELATION to a starting point.
The formula for Velocity is ---- v = x / t
v = Velocity
x = Displacement
t = Time velocity is a vector quantity so the direction should also be specified unless it is implicit in the problem.

How can you figure out velocity?
You check out the speed and direction, and times them together, and it will tell you the velocity of the object.
How do you find acceleration if only given a velocity?
If you have an initial and final velocity and time you can figure it out with this equation, Vf squared=Vi squared1/2a(t squared) If you don't have those you cannot find acceleration. However the acceleration on Earth is a constant -9.81
How can you find velocity from only force and mass?
You would need to use the equation f=ma In this equation, f means force, m means mass, and a means acceleration. So dividing the force by the mass will give you a figure for acceleration. If you know how long the object has been accelerating for, or how far, and what the initial velocity was (or whether it started off still) then you can work out the velocity from this acceleration.
Can constant velocity be zero?
Yes. Zero velocity is a velocity; if it is always zero then it is a constant velocity.
Can the effect of initial velocity on final velocity be predicted?
Well, (final velocity) = (initial velocity) + (acceleration x time)
