(N/A) Velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement of an object. It is a vector quantity,meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The mathematical formula for velocity $(v)$ is given by $v = \frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}$,where $\Delta s$ is the change in displacement and $\Delta t$ is the time interval. Its $SI$ unit is meters per second $(m/s)$.
