Hi,
  This kind of question falls into the domain of the particular
MD simulation tool you're using, and asking that program to save
the velocities or forces in a trajectory file. VMD doesn't have
the ability to compute these values, so if they aren't available
in a trajectory, then there's really no way to compute them
after-the-fact, at least in VMD. You might be able to feed a
simulation trajectory into an MD engine as input and have it
compute the quantities of interest, but again, this is totally
outside the scope of VMD currently.

Cheers,
