Speed is a scalar quantity and has only magnitude and not direction. Hence, speed cannot tell us what direction an object is moving.
However, velocity which is the vector equivalent of speed, can tell us the direction.
Velocity tells you what speed a moving object travels at and in what direction.
This was the essential question on a homework assignment. Speed tells how fast an object is moving but it does not tell the direction. Velocity tells how fast an object is moving and it also tells the direction. When velocity is positive, the object is moving up. When velocity is negative, the object is moving down.
it would be in the process of moving It depends on your perspective. If you were also moving in the same direction and at the same speed, is the object moving?
it may tell the speed of the moving object
The speed and direction of an object is its velocity.
The 1 way you can tell an object is in motion is by having a focus point that does not move and watch and see if the object you are looking for is moving. Another way to notice where the object is now, then later, check and see if the object has been moving. lastly, if you are a scientist, you can use telescopes, computers, and the latest gadgets to tell you if an object is in motion.
You check out the speed and direction, and times them together, and it will tell you the velocity of the object.
speed and direction.
Knowing the net for will tell you various things, including the direction, speed, and acceleration.
2 Forces are unbalanced when an object that is not moving starts moving or changes speed or direction. Balanced forces are the opposite they are where an object that is not moving stays still or an object that is moving stays at a constant pace.
D=RT, or in other words, to find the rate(R)(speed) of an object take the distance (D)traveled divided by the time(T).
A moving object has ricocheted when it hit something and has bounced away in a different direction.
