Velocity and force are two distinct physical concepts, each measured using different units. To export velocity and force data, you need to specify the context and the specific application. Below, I'll explain how you can export data for each of these parameters:

Exporting Velocity Data:
Velocity is typically measured in units like meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h) for linear velocity, or radians per second (rad/s) for angular velocity. To export velocity data, you need to have a source that measures it. Here's a general process:

Measurement Device: Use a sensor or measuring instrument appropriate for
your application to measure velocity. For example, a speedometer in a
car measures linear velocity in km/h.

Data Collection: Collect the velocity data over time using the
measurement device. This could be done manually or automatically,
depending on the equipment you're using.

Data Export: Depending on your data collection method, you may need to
export the data to a computer or storage device. This might involve
using software or simply recording the values manually.

Data Format: Choose an appropriate data format for export. Common
formats include CSV (comma-separated values), Excel spreadsheets, or
database entries.

Data Analysis: If necessary, analyze the velocity data for insights or
trends using data analysis software.

Exporting Force Data:
Force is typically measured in units like newtons (N) or pounds (lb). The process for exporting force data is similar to that for velocity:

Measurement Device: Use a force sensor or instrument designed for
measuring force. For instance, a strain gauge can measure forces in
mechanical structures.

Data Collection: Collect force data by applying forces or loads to the
sensor. The sensor will provide readings in units of force.

Data Export: Transfer or record the force data as needed. This might
involve connecting the sensor to data acquisition equipment or manually
recording readings.

Data Format: Choose an appropriate data format for export. Common
formats include CSV, Excel, or database entries.

Data Analysis: Analyze the force data if required for your application,
using appropriate software or tools.

The specific steps and equipment needed will depend on the nature of the
measurements you are making (e.g., linear velocity, angular velocity,
force in a mechanical system, etc.), so it's essential to tailor the
process to your specific situation and requirements. Additionally,
consider the accuracy and calibration of your measurement devices to
ensure the quality of the data you export. See my web here:
