Does neither for me... It defines a (physics) VELOCITY (a direction
and a speed, but lacking in starting position and in duration).
OK... so, let me ask you then: I have a computer program that graphs
the state of a particular act of running over time t. The only
information the program cares about is the speed and direction of that
particular instance of running. What would your data structure look
like?
I'd use the name "velocity", a noun, as Dennis Lee Bieber already said. In
pedantic mode, "average velocity".
If you still want to push further such ridiculous example I'll have to
think that you're just trolling.
