Velocity - <span><span>the speed of something in a given direction
Speed - </span></span><span>rapidity in moving, going, traveling, proceeding, or performing; swiftness; <span>celerity
Velocity is the speed in a certain direction, whereas speed is just the rate of fastness.
Does that make sense?

The fatal current is 51 mA = 0.051 Ampere.
The resistance is 2,050Ω .
Voltage = (current) x (resistance)
= (0.051 Ampere) x (2,050 Ω) = 104.6 volts .
==================
This is what the arithmetic says IF the information in the question
is correct.
I don't know how true this is, and I certainly don't plan to test it,
but I have read that a current as small as 15 mA through the
heart can be fatal, not 51 mA .
If 15 mA can do it, and the sweaty electrician's resistance is
really 2,050 Ω, then the fatal voltage could be as little as 31 volts !
The voltage at the wall-outlets in your house is 120 volts in the USA !
THAT's why you don't want to stick paper clips or a screwdriver into
outlets, and why you want to cover unused outlets with plastic plugs
if there are babies crawling around.

The velocity is a vectorial quantity, whereas speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it depends on the direction!
As such, the velocity is changing because the direction is changing.
