Abstract from DBPedia
    Velocity is the directional speed of an object in motion as an indication of its rate of change in position as observed from a particular frame of reference and as measured by a particular standard of time (e.g. 60 km/h northbound). Velocity is a fundamental concept in kinematics, the branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of bodies. Velocity is a physical vector quantity; both magnitude and direction are needed to define it. The scalar absolute value (magnitude) of velocity is called speed, being a coherent derived unit whose quantity is measured in the SI (metric system) as metres per second (m/s or m⋅s−1). For example, "5 metres per second" is a scalar, whereas "5 metres per second east" is a vector. If there is a change in speed, direction or both, then the object is said to be undergoing an acceleration.

    物理学の運動学における速さ（はやさ、英: speed）は、速度ベクトルの大きさを指す用語である。各時刻の位置が特定できるような何らかの'もの'があって、その'もの'が時間とともに移動していく場合に、その（道のりとしての）移動距離が時間的に増していく変化のすばやさ（変化率）を表す量である。速度が一定の場合は、単位時間あたりの移動距離である。
