Velocity= Distance/time or V=D/T. there is a triangle to help remember this

D

-----

V | T

permutations: V=D/T D=V X T T=D/V

Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed of an object and its direction of motion. Speed, on the other hand, is a scalar quantity that represents the distance traveled by an object in a unit of time. In summary, velocity consists of both speed and direction, while speed only represents the rate of motion.

Velocity is speed with a direction vector. Speed is distance per unit time without

any specification regarding direction. Velocity is speed plus a direction

component. The particulars might become easier to see when considering a

problem like what is happening when a shuttle is in orbit. (Gravity on the

orbiting shuttle and its crew is something like 85% of what it is on the earth's

surface, but the vehicle and the astronauts are weightless. What's up with

that?)
