- Quickness of motion; swiftness; speed; celerity;
rapidity; as, the velocity of wind; the velocity of a planet or comet
in its orbit or course; the velocity of a cannon ball; the velocity of
light. - Rate of motion; the relation of motion to time, measured
by the number of units of space passed over by a moving body or point
in a unit of time, usually the number of feet passed over in a second.
See the Note under Speed.
Velocity of money Velocity of money is the rate of turnover of money the average number of times per year that a dollar is spent in buying the total amount of final
Low velocity drop Low velocity drop is a drop procedure in which the drop velocity does not exceed 30 feet per second.
High velocity drop High velocity drop— a drop procedure in which the drop velocity is greater than 30 feet per second and lower than free drop velocity. See also airdrop.
Constant velocity (CV) joint Constant velocity (CV) joint is typically used in front-wheel drive applications, constant velocity joints are a form of universal joint that
