Or you could go with:

(Distanceraptor/ Timeraptor) * Vectoreraptor

The d is only needed if it is changing.

Why *vector? Displacement is already a vector; distance being a scalar.

The d is only needed if it is changing.

Ah, is this a constant speed raptor?

Ah, is this a constant speed raptor?

If you look at it for a small enough amount of time, that is (so d can be implicit)

Or you can get Average Velociraptor

Ah my bad, I wanted to write "Distanceraptor" as in the post.
Forgot that by the time I got to actually writing it.
