英语词汇“velocity”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

If your rocket is traveling at maximum velocity, it means it can't go any faster. Velocity is quickness of motion or action.

A synonym is celerity; a simpler word is speed. In physics, velocity specifically refers to the measurement of the rate and direction of change in position of an object. It is a vector quantity that specifies both the speed of a body and its direction of motion. The noun velocity descends from Middle English velocite, from Old French, from Latin vēlōcitās, from vēlōx "fast."

WORD FAMILY

velocity: hypervelocity, velocities

USAGE EXAMPLES

His players don’t expect any dip in performance although they will be watching to see if Stafford’s passes lack the same velocity.

Washington Times(Dec 15, 2016)

Among those with at least 400 at-bats last season, Zimmerman was ninth in the major leagues in exit velocity.

Washington Times(Dec 15, 2016)

He seemed to throw accurately with a decent degree of velocity to teammates during the portion of practice that was open to reporters.

Seattle Times(Dec 14, 2016)

n distance travelled per unit time

Syn|Hypo|Hyper

speed

angular velocity

(physics) the rate of change of the angular position of a rotating body; usually expressed in radians per second or radians per minute

airspeed

the speed of an aircraft relative to the air in which it is flying

escape velocity

the minimum velocity needed to escape a gravitational field

groundspeed
