Easy answer: velocity is defined as speed in a specific direction.
So, if a car is traveling at a velocity of due west, 60 miles per hour, then turns onto a road going north, the velocity has changed to due north, 60 miles per hour.
But the speed has stayed the same.

What is change in the speed of an object?
A change in the velocity is produced by a force acting on the object. A change in velocity means a change in speed or direction (or both).
Velocity is the change of speed andor direction of an object?
Not exactly. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.If either speed or direction changes, then the change is the object's 'acceleration'.
The rate of change in an object's velocity is the object's what?
Acceleration.
Can velocity speed up an object?
Well velocity is basically the same thing as speed but with direction (velocity can be negative or positive and speed is always positive). l velocity l = speed So a change in velocity means a change in speed.
How would the velocity of an object change when the speed stays the same?
Velocity includes both speed and direction, so velocity will change when an object changes direction while maintaining it's speed. An example is a car at constant speed around a curve.
What is change in the speed of an object?
A change in the velocity is produced by a force acting on the object. A change in velocity means a change in speed or direction (or both).
When does the speed of an object change?
An object's speed changes whenever the rate of change between the distance the object travels and the time it takes to travel that distance changes. Do not confuse speed with velocity; speed is scalar, and velocity is vector. Velocity can change when speed remains constant.

What happens to the velocity of an object even if the speed of an object remains constant?
Velocity can change even if speed is constant.
The rate of change in an object's velocity is the object's what?
Acceleration.
What refers to an object's change of position and speed?
Velocity
When an object's speed changes does it's velocity also change?
yes, speed is velocity with a direction
Is the rate at which an object changes velocity?
No, velocity is the instantaneous speed of an object, the rate of change would be the acceleration of the object.
What is the relationship of the object's speed to its velocity?
Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.
Velocity is the change of speed and/or direction of an object?
FALSE. Acceleration is the change of speed and/or direction of an object.
Can velocity speed up an object?
Well velocity is basically the same thing as speed but with direction (velocity can be negative or positive and speed is always positive). l velocity l = speed So a change in velocity means a change in speed.
