Velocity Measurement

Velocity measurement refers to determining how fast an object is moving in a specific direction. It combines two components: speed (how fast) and direction (where to). To measure velocity, sensors or instruments track an object's position over time, calculating its change in position divided by the time taken. For example, a car's speedometer shows its speed, but velocity measurement also considers its direction on the road, giving a complete picture of its motion. Accurate velocity measurement is essential in fields like engineering, aviation, and navigation to ensure safety and efficiency.
