Definition of velocity in English: velocitynounPlural velocities vɪˈlɒsɪtivəˈlɑsədi 1The speed of something in a given direction. 速度,速率 the velocities of the emitted particles 发射粒子的速率。 Example sentencesExamples - A rain droplet's readiness to fall and its fall velocity are not controlled by the density of the droplet, but by its size.
- It dealt only with a specific type of motion: objects moving at a constant velocity.
- However, if we can measure the distance to the Sun we can also calculate the velocity of the Earth relative to the Sun.
- His average velocity on the fastball was ninety miles per hour on the button.
- Wind shear velocities have been measured to 212 knots.
- Maximum wind velocity reaches 20-25 m/s.
- Since a change in either speed OR direction means a change in velocity, the object's velocity is not constant.
- The two bodies will meet at a relative velocity of 10.3 kilometers per second.
- The further away from the center of rotation that the torque is applied the more velocity it causes.
- Similarly, if two objects are moving with the same velocity, one with twice the mass of the other also has twice the momentum.
- Calculating the angular velocity of the Earth is a deceptively easy task.
- Anti-matter has mass and when mass moves at a high velocity, there is an overall increase in energy.
- In 1660, together with Borelli, Viviani measured the velocity of sound by timing the difference between the flash and the sound of a cannon.
- Roller coasters are also good demonstrators of speed, velocity, and acceleration.
- Clearly, much depends on the direction and magnitude of the velocity and of the strength of the gravitational field.
- If an object is moving in one direction without a force acting on it, then it continues to move in that direction with a constant velocity.
- He noticed Venus move, he was able to determine its direction and its velocity and very importantly he was able to determine its angular diameter.
- Accelerometers measure changes in the velocity of the object to which they are attached.
- Hubble discovered that the galaxies are moving away from us with a velocity proportional to their distance.
- In many cases, air resistance will produce a drag force which is proportional to the velocity squared.
- 1.1 (in general use) speed.
(普通用语)速度 the tank shot backwards at an incredible velocity 坦克以令人难以置信的速度后退。 Example sentencesExamples - The velocity of change in today's economy requires a steady commitment to your fundamental values.
- Having started his corporate career with maximum velocity, Yang now runs another company called Yahoo!
- The bolt left the crossbow with amazing velocity, striking the target with near-perfect accuracy.
- A gauss rifle is a rifle that throws an iron slug at an incredibly high velocity.
- The film has nail-biting stunts performed at such velocity you're pinned to the back of your chair just watching.
- Medical advances aside, almost every technological progress has been about velocity, about the simple process of speeding things up.
- Scientists and inventors are unraveling new technology at incredible velocity.
- But you don't have to be a dot-com executive to see how the Internet accelerates business velocity.

〔经济〕周转率,流通速度 Example sentencesExamples - The velocity of circulation was assumed to be unchanged.
- The trouble is that all these measures of money cannot be relied on because the velocity of money changes.
- John Maynard Keynes challenged the theory in the 1930s, saying that increases in money supply lead to a decrease in the velocity of circulation and that real income, the flow of money to the factors of production, increased.
- He assumed no international trade effects, an unchanged money supply and a constant velocity of circulation.
- Time and money appear as commensurate albeit inverse values because of the effect of the velocity of circulation on the accumulation of capital.
