Velocity only describes the speed. Vector describes both speed and direction. That entails trigonometry.

Does velocity only describes the direction in which an objects moving?
No. Velocity is a vector that describes both the direction in which an object is moving and its speed in that direction.
What describes an object and speed and direction?
As regards a moving object, we call the measure of the speed and direction it is moving its velocity.
What is the defintion of velocity?
Velocity describes both?
speed and direction
What is the velocity of a object?
the velocity of an object is its speed and direction
What describes the direction and speed of an object?
Velocity describes the speed and direction of an object.velocityvelocity
What describes both speed and direction?
Velocity describes both the speed and direction an object is moving.
Does velocity only describes the direction in which an objects moving?
No. Velocity is a vector that describes both the direction in which an object is moving and its speed in that direction.
What describes an object and speed and direction?
As regards a moving object, we call the measure of the speed and direction it is moving its velocity.
What is the defintion of velocity?
The speed of an object and the direction of its motion?
the object's 'velocity'
Velocity describes both?
speed and direction
What is the velocity of a object?
the velocity of an object is its speed and direction
Does change in the velocity of an object always indicate a change in speed?
speed=distance divided by time........Hewitt describes it as how fast something moves; the distance an object travels per unit of time; the magnitude of velocity !!... and velocity is the speed of an object and its direction of motion ; a vector quantity. SO .....YES!!!!!!!!!!!
What is vector and resultant velocity?
A vector is used to represent direction and magnitude of speed. Velocity is the speed of an object and a specification of its direction of motion. Speed describes only how fast an object is moving, whereas velocity gives both how fast and in what direction the object is moving. Therefore a vector can be used to represent a velocity. The term "resultant velocity" implies a change in velocity which can be determined using vector analysis.
What are the differences between speed and velocity?
Speed is distance divided by the time taken Velocity is distance in a particular direction divided by the time taken. Velocity is a vector quantity while speed is a scalar quantity. That means that velocity include information about the direction of movement, while speed does not.
An object's speed and direction?
is velocity
