local BV = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
BV.Parent = script.Parent
BV.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
BV.Velocity = workspace.Part.Position.Unit*50

This script has the velocity a bit offset; however if you change line 4 to this:

local BV = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
BV.Parent = script.Parent
BV.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
BV.Velocity = (workspace.Part.Position - script.Parent.Position).Unit*50

it works.

Why does the bottom one work but not the top one? What is happening at the bottom one?

Here's a vague explanation. The first one is the Position of the Part. The 2nd one is very different: it's the DISTANCE between the two parts. A Unit of that will be the direction of the two parts. The first one doesn't really make any sense to be normalizing.

Imagine if the first part is at world space (0, 0, 0) and the 2nd one is at (0, 1, 0). First part minus the 2nd part would be (0, -1, 0), right? That's the direction the parts are facing (up/down depending on relativity)

Sorry that it's not 'in depth', but it's simple enough
