Answer:

Velocity is expressed in displacement per unit time.

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity which has a magnitude and direction. For the magnitude, it is expressed in distance per unit time. Speed refers to the magnitude of a velocity. The units of measurement used for velocity are meter per second (m/s), centimeter per second (cm/s), kilometer per hour (km/h or kph), miles per hour (mi/h or mph), feet per second (ft/s).

Examples of velocity (magnitude only):

1. A man walks 5 km/h everyday to do his exercise routine.

2. The speed of light 3 x [tex]10^{8}[/tex] m/s.

3. Drizzle fall on the Earth in a speed of 200 cm/s.

4. The speed of a sound travels at a rate of 1,125.33 ft/s

5. A super typhoon has a wind speed of 120 mph.

Examples of velocity (magnitude and direction)

1. A car is driving at 55 miles per hour westwards.

2. A severe typhoon has winds of at least 90 miles per hour (mph) due  

      north.

3. A boat is sailing 30 degrees towards North of East with a speed of 2

      km/h.

4. A man walked 2 m/s east then another 2 m/s south.

5. A balloon flies up in the air with a speed of 3 m/s.
