    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?

      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.
