i want to create the speed meter, on button press it has to grow(in golf game we will select the force,like with how much force you want to hit that ball)in the same manner i want it in the torque game engine.

if you wanted to go into the mathmatical side of force you'd have to think about the force on impact with the ball collision. how much that would slow it down. also looking at gravitaional pull and environmental effects eg wind speed. these factors calculate the arc of the ball when hit. If you looking into the maths of it you'd need to know somthing like Parabola i'd expect (dont rely on that) Not sure this helps at all

in golf isnt it about force insted of speed? but to calculate speed you would do distance / time so 100 miles in 1 hour would calculate 100 mph. if you wanted to go into the mathmatical side of force you'd have to think about the force on impact with the ball collision. how much that would slow it down. also looking at gravitaional pull and environmental effects eg wind speed. these factors calculate the arc of the ball when hit.
