Coffee Pot Problem - Velocity and Flow Rate

[chloecaitlin]

Time (min)	Volume (in^3)	Rate of Flow (in^3/min)
0	0	0
.5	2.08	7.18
1	7.18	12.2
.5	14.28	15.32
2	22.5	16.74
2.5	31.02	16.7
3	39.2	15.46
3.5	46.48	13.24
4	52.44	10.26
4.5	56.74	6.78
5	59.22	3.02
5.5	59.76	0.58

Given this chart, I need to tell the teacher about the coffee pot and why.
So far I have where the velocity is at its peak, how the water makes the coffee, and when the most rapid acceleration was.
What I need to know, and can't figure out, is how the velocity and rate of flow are RELATED. Is there a formula of some sort?
Thanks!

To be honest, I'm not sure what you mean my the velocity, because it's defined as the rate of change of distance in a specific direction.

how the velocity and rate of flow are RELATED

Flow is the displacement of liquid. Rate of flow is how fast the flowing liquid is displaced.

Are velocity and rate of flow the same?
