Velocity = net displacement / time. Force = Mass * Acceleration
NOTE: Speed and velocity are very different. Speed is distance traveled over time (scalar) Velocity is net displacement over time (vector) Example: Running around a track in a stadium. If you make a complete lap in 60 seconds, then your speed is 6.66 meters per second, while your velocity is 0 meters per second because you haven't been displaced from your starting position.

Hi list, Asking this question with no shame ^^; This might be basic, but what is the difference between a force and a velocity ? Sorry for being half brained...
