velocity

1. Velocity
   (Mech) 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.

1. (n) velocity
   The velocity at which the mode of flow of a liquid, in a pipe or channel, is modified by the setting up of eddy-motion and the consequent interruption of the stream lines.
2. (n) velocity
   Same as critical velocity .
3. (n) velocity
   The velocity of a given individual wave-length of light as opposed to the group velocity of a complex beam taken as a whole.
4. (n) velocity
   Quickness of motion; speed in movement; swiftness; rapidity; celerity: used only (or chiefly) of inanimate objects. See def. 2.
5. (n) velocity
   In physics, rate of motion; the rate at which a body changes its position in space; the rate of change of position of a point per unit of time. The velocity of a body is uniform when it passes through equal spaces in equal times, and it is variable when the spaces passed through in equal times are unequal. The velocity of a body is accelerated when it passes constantly through a greater space in equal successive portions of time, as is the case with falling bodies under the action of gravity, and it is retarded when a less space is passed through in each successive portion of time. When the motion of a body is uniform its velocity is measured by the space described by it in a unit of time, as one second. If the motion of the body is not uniform its velocity is measured by the space which it would describe uniformly in a given time if the motion became and continued uniform from that instant of time.
6. (n) velocity
   In music, decided rapidity of tempo or pace, particularly in a bravura passage.
