Velocity is a vector quantity that measures speed (and also includes direction).
55 mph is a speed.
55mph North is a velocity.

The velocity of sound in air at sea level at normal temperature and pressure is 3.4329 metres/second.
megaphones are a device that loud-ens sound to a distance.
It looks a little like V = f x λ, which to me means velocity = frequency multiplied by wavelength. For example, with sound, you could have a frequency of 100Hz and a wavelength of 3.4m giving a velocity of 340m/s. Alternatively you could rearrange the equation if the velocity is know but the frequency or wavelength isn't
About 767 miles, depending on the temperature and density of the air.
Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = (2 x 6) = 12 meters per second.That's the wave's speed. "Velocity" is something different, not just a wordto use when you mean "speed" but you want to sound more technical.
