How to use velocity in a sentence?

1. Pratik Sinha:

   The velocity that misinformation gets once something is out there and it is something which captures people's imagination, then it is shared like crazy, and it's that velocity that one needs to arrest, so that the least amount of people are affected.

2. Morgan Sword:

   It’s a direct response to the escalating strikeout rate, where you’re giving the hitter approximately one one-hundreth of a second of additional time to decide whether to swing at a pitch, which has the effect just in terms of reaction time of reducing the effective velocity of a pitch by roughly 1.5 mph, the purpose of the test and hope is giving hitters even that tiny additional piece of time will allow them to make more contact and reduce the strikeout rate.

3. Colleague Miro Voellmy:

   The great thing is that everything on this wheelchair is automated, if I want to climb the stairs I can just drive up to them, turn around, press one button and all I have to do is control the velocity I want to drive at. The alignment on the stairs, the leveling of the wheelchair driver, is automated and he can control it, he can view the back with a back facing camera, and have a full, safe, driving experience.

4. Primo Levi:

   After the planet becomes theirs, many millions of years will have to pass before a beetle particularly loved by God, at the end of its calculations will find written on a sheet of paper in letters of fire that energy is equal to the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. The new kings of the world will live tranquilly for a long time, confining themselves to devouring each other and being parasites among each other on a cottage industry scale.

5. Acute Care Surgery.Matthew McConaughey:

   I think there are some misconceptions with... rifles. A lot of people say,' Oh, they're big bullets.' Actually, they're small bullets -- interestingly, they're even smaller than many handguns. So the actual bullet that's discharged from An AR-15, for example, is a half the size of the bullet from a 9 millimeter. The difference is the... velocity.
