I am trying to figure out how fast a part is moving/falling so then I can figure out if it stopped. The problem is when I went to check basepart.Velocity, it is deprecated. How should I check how fast a part is moving now? I tried checking the internet and API and couldn’t find anything similar yet. How do I do this?

No, that would not really work, as I am just using the roblox physics engine.
The following properties/method which were released last month are the new alternatives to this:
AssemblyLinearVelocity
AssemblyAngularVelocity
:GetVelocityAtPosition
A Roblox Staff member confirmed in the Release Notes that using part:GetVelocityAtPosition(part.Position) is how you could replicate the old Velocity property, but the AssemblyLinearVelocity property is what the majority of use cases may require.

Edit #1 (May 20th, 2022) – Updated the Roblox Developer Hub Documentation links throughout this post to the new Creator Documentation pages.
Because the Roblox Developer Hub will be superseded by Roblox’s Creator Documentation, I figured that it would be better to replace the links in this post sooner rather than later so that the main post wouldn’t have broken links in the far future.
