exit velocity
Leaving-speed measurement
Exit velocity is the speed at which something leaves a surface or point of origin.
In baseball, it measures how fast the ball travels off the bat: He hit a line drive with an exit velocity of 110 miles per hour.
The term applies in physics to projectiles, rockets, or any object departing a system.
Figuratively, it can describe someone's eagerness to leave: Her exit velocity from that job was impressive.
