linear velocity noun[ C or U ] physics specializeduk /ˌlɪn.i.ə vəˈlɒs.ə.ti/ us /ˌlɪn.i.ɚ vəˈlɑː.sə.t̬i/ the speed at which an object moves in a straight line: Linear velocity is measured in metres per second. The maximum linear velocity was limited at 750 mm/s for safety conditions. They measured both rotational and linear velocities of sperm and found that they are highly correlated. Conventional CD drives vary the rotational speed to maintain a constant linear velocity, or CLV. The state of the robot and the moving objects is determined by the position, the linear velocity, and the direction of the motion.
