Velocity is the derivative of the displacement.
v(t) = dx / dt

Velocity is the time rate of change of distance.
Technically, velocity is a vector - so it would include a directional component. Distance is usually a scalar, and only has a magnitude. The vector partner is called displacement.

velocity and distance are related by:
velocity=rate of chanfe of displacement=distance/time to cover that distance=d/t
its unit being a meter/second ot ft/second
velocity is a vector quantity and distance is a scaler term.
(The velocity of an object is simply its speed in a particular direction. Since velocity is defined as a vector, both speed and direction are required to define it.
Velocity (symbol: v) is a vector measurement of the rate of change of displacement from a fixed point. The scalar absolute value (magnitude) of velocity is speed. Velocity can also be defined as rate of change of displacement or just as the rate of displacement. It is a vector quantity with dimension LT(-1). In. the SI (metric) system it is measured in meter per second.

velocity is the amount of distance you cover in a certain period of time, thus leading to the equation
velocity = distance/time
this can also go more into depth by adding acceleration
accel. = change in distance / change in time
(between two established points)

distance = velocity x time

velocity=distance travelled/time taken
actually velocity is a vector. so it is
vel=displacement in unit time

velocity/distance=time

the greater the velocity the greater the distance traveled will be

velocity = distance/time V=x(m)/t(sec)= m/sec

d = v*t
Applies to constant velocity only
