[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2526728, member: 63925"] Ok: Velocity is defined as a [URL='https://www.thoughtco.com/vector-definition-606769']vector[/URL] measurement of the rate and direction of motion. Put simply, velocity is the speed at which something moves in one direction. [H2]Velocity Formula [/H2] The most common way to calculate the [URL='https://www.thoughtco.com/terminal-velocity-free-fall-4132455']constant velocity[/URL] of an object moving in a straight line is with this formula: [LIST] [*][I]r[/I] is the rate or speed (sometimes denoted as [I]v[/I]for velocity) [*][I]d[/I] is the distance moved [*][I]t[/I] is the time it takes to complete the movement [/LIST] [B]Velocity[/B] is a vector quantity that indicates displacement, time, and direction. Unlike speed, velocity measures [I]displacement, [/I]a vector quantity indicating the difference between an object's final and initial positions. Why Velocity Matters: Velocity measures motion starting in one place and heading toward another place. The practical applications of velocity are endless, but one of the most common reasons to measure velocity is to determine how quickly you (or anything in motion) will arrive at a destination from a given location. So maybe we are looking at this wrong? Its how fast the bullet will arrive at its destination.? My head hurts. [/QUOTE]
