Accelerative :: Accelerative (a.) Relating to acceleration; adding to velocity; quickening.

Accelerometer :: Accelerometer (n.) An apparatus for measuring the velocity imparted by gunpowder.

Anemometer :: Anemometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the force or velocity of the wind; a wind gauge.

Libration Point :: Libration point (n.) any one of five points in the plane of a system of two large astronomical bodies orbiting each other, as the Earth-moon system, where the gravitational pull of the two bodies on an object are approximately equal, and in opposite directions. A solid object moving in the same velocity and direction as such a libration point will remain in gravitational equilibrium with the two bodies of the system and not fall toward either body..

Hysteresis :: Hysteresis (n.) A lagging or retardation of the effect, when the forces acting upon a body are changed, as if from velocity or internal friction; a temporary resistance to change from a condition previously induced, observed in magnetism, thermoelectricity, etc., on reversal of polarity..

Pitot''s Tube :: Pitot's tube () A bent tube used to determine the velocity of running water, by placing the curved end under water, and observing the height to which the fluid rises in the tube; a kind of current meter..

Anemometry :: Anemometry (n.) The act or process of ascertaining the force or velocity of the wind.

Whirligig :: Whirligig (n.) A mediaeval instrument for punishing petty offenders, being a kind of wooden cage turning on a pivot, in which the offender was whirled round with great velocity..

Hydrometrical :: Hydrometrical (a.) Of or pertaining to measurement of the velocity, discharge, etc., of running water..

Dart :: Dart (v. i.) To start and run with velocity; to shoot rapidly along; as, the deer darted from the thicket..

Wind :: Wind (n.) Air naturally in motion with any degree of velocity; a current of air.

Momentum :: Momentum (n.) The quantity of motion in a moving body, being always proportioned to the quantity of matter multiplied into the velocity; impetus..

Rotation :: Rotation (a.) Pertaining to, or resulting from, rotation; of the nature of, or characterized by, rotation; as, rotational velocity..

Carronade :: Carronade (n.) A kind of short cannon, formerly in use, designed to throw a large projectile with small velocity, used for the purpose of breaking or smashing in, rather than piercing, the object aimed at, as the side of a ship. It has no trunnions, but is supported on its carriage by a bolt passing through a loop on its under side..

Vector :: Vector (n.) A directed quantity, as a straight line, a force, or a velocity. Vectors are said to be equal when their directions are the same their magnitudes equal. Cf. Scalar..

Dyne :: Dyne (n.) The unit of force, in the C. G. S. (Centimeter Gram Second) system of physical units; that is, the force which, acting on a gram for a second, generates a velocity of a centimeter per second..

Fleetness :: Fleetness (n.) Swiftness; rapidity; velocity; celerity; speed; as, the fleetness of a horse or of time..

Hemadromometer :: Hemadromometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the velocity with which the blood moves in the arteries.

Velocity :: Velocity (n.) Quickness of motion; swiftness; speed; celerity; rapidity; as, the velocity of wind; the velocity of a planet or comet in its orbit or course; the velocity of a cannon ball; the velocity of light..

Whur :: Whur (n.) A humming or whirring sound, like that of a body moving through the air with velocity; a whir..
