" velocity "

 [ "velocity" ]

1: your chemistry teacher says this instead of speed to sound like a scientist

  * e.g.,  ... The speed... oh wait velocity of the car is 40 mph. 

 [ "velocity" ]

1: Defined as the change in position of an object (displacement) per unit of time. Velocity, unlike speed, takes into account the direction of travel relative to a base point.

  * e.g.,  ...  (One dimension) If you start at point A and travel directly north to point B which is ten metres away, and it takes you five seconds to get there, your velocity will be 2ms^-1 due north. 

 [ "velocity" ]

2: v = s/t (where v and s are vectors)

  * e.g.,  ...  (One dimension) If you travel west for a ten seconds at 1ms^-1, take a break for twenty seconds and then travel for another ten seconds at 1ms^-1, your velocity for the trip will be .05ms^-1 due west. 

 [ "velocity" ]

3: Where (using SI units):

  * e.g.,  ...  (Two dimension) If you start at point A and travel north at 3kmh^-1 for two hours, and then instantaneously change direction and travel due east for four hours at a speed of 2kmh^-1 to point B, your velocity for the trip is 10kmh^-1 N53°E (53°T) 

 [ "velocity" ]

4: v is the velocity of the body in metres per second (ms^-1)

  * e.g.,  ... I think... 

 [ "velocity" ]

5: s is the displacement of the body in metres (m)

 [ "velocity" ]

6: t is the time taken to travel from the initial point to the final point in seconds (s)

 [ "velocity" ]

1: Change in position over change in time. A measure of how fast something is moving. Measured in m/s, ft/s, mph or km/h.

  * e.g.,  ... The velocity of the roller coaster is 20 meters per second. 

 [ "velocity" ]

1: Smackdown's version of Heat where it mostly features Cruiserweight action with such cruiserweights as Paul London, Billy Kidman, Spike Dudley, Funaki, Akio, etc.

  * e.g.,  ... Chavo Guerrero vs. Billy Kidman is gonna be on Velocity this Saturday night! 

 [ "veloce" ]

1: fast, which has momentum.

  * e.g.,  ... veloce interactive, real time graphics studio 

 [ "Velocity" ]

1: A Cubash user who is apprently 16 years old and who keeps crying about the littlest of shit. Velocity used most of the to describe a cry baby.

  * e.g.,  ... "WHY DID YOU SAY THAT I FARTED??? YOU KNOW THAT I DONT FART, YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!" "Dude, you're such a Velocity" 

 [ "terminal velocity" ]

1: Terminal velocity is when you are diagnosed with going the maximum speed in a defined direction using only gravitational potential. It is life threatening as it is a terminal disease.

  * e.g.,  ... Paul: What's wrong? 

 [ "Velocity Traptor" ]

1: Noun. Someone who is a trap in a lego game that catfishes.

  * e.g.,  ... Yo Shadow dated a Velocity Traptor, yea their name was Ezionation! 

 [ "Velocity Vapor" ]

1: Another go to nic spot for OU tards. This place is HELLA slept on because not enough people know about it even though it is BY FAR the BEST nic spot in Norman. The inside of this place looks clean af, as soon as you walk in, you'll see a big ass fish tank (which apparently happens to be a common theme among nic spots in Norman) and you'll see a lounge area with a straight up vape bar. This place is definitely the spot and also happens to have the best prices in town.

  * e.g.,  ... I went to Velocity Vapor the other night and I thought I was gonna be in and out of that hoe but I was surprisingly the only there so the owner invited me to play pool with him at the pool table so I spent over an hour there just playing pool and blowing PHAT clouds. 

 [ "Escape Velocity" ]

1: Escape Velocity:

  * e.g.,  ... 1/2 mv2 = GMm/R  

 [ "Escape Velocity" ]

2: .

  * e.g.,  ... . 

 [ "Escape Velocity" ]

3: if you throw an object straight up, it will rise until the the negative acceleration of gravity stops it, then returns it to Earth. Gravity's force diminishes as distance from the center of the Earth increases, however. So if you can throw the object with enough initial upward velocity so that gravity's decreasing force can never quite slow it to a complete stop, its decreasing velocity can always be just high enough to overcome gravity's pull. The initial velocity needed to achieve that condition is called escape velocity.

  * e.g.,  ... Where m is the mass of the object, M mass of the earth, G is the gravitational constant, R is the radius of the earth, and v is the escape velocity. It simplifies to:  

 [ "Escape Velocity" ]

4: .

  * e.g.,  ... . 

 [ "Escape Velocity" ]

5: From the surface of the Earth, escape velocity (ignoring air friction) is about 7 miles per second, or 25,000 miles per hour. Given that initial speed, an object needs no additional force applied to completely escape Earth's gravity

  * e.g.,  ... v = sqrt(2GM/R)
