I wanted to know about the meaning of the expression 'v^2' especially what does 
's^-2' mean because approximately 95% of the terms I know in Physics have 
atleast a meaningful definition whether you can feel them(eg. Force,Inertia) or 
express them but in this case you don't even know how does v^2 feel and you 
cannot express these.
