Displacement is dependent on time and velocity.

If I walk to the train station from my home it will take me about 20 minutes to get there.

If I use my bike, I will be there in about 5 minutes.

Conclusion: my velocity on bike is 4 times as high as my walking speed.

It's all in the following formulae:
#s#=displacement, #t#=time and #v#=velocity

#s=v*t#
#v=s//t#
#t=s//v#

In the metric system we use meters, seconds and m/s,
or kilometers, hours and km/h.

You use whichever units you like.
