Compare velocity from acceleration?
Velocity is a constant traveling speed. Acceleration is increasing traveling speed (variation of speed over time)
Compare and contrast speed and acceleration?
-- "Speed" is the rate at which distance changes. -- "Velocity" is speed along with the direction of motion. -- "Acceleration" is the rate at which velocity changes, including the direction of the change.
How does the escape velocity from a black hole compare with the speed of light?
The escape velocity of a black hole is equal or greater than the speed of light, so light cannot escape
How do units for speed and velocity compare?
The units are the same (metres per second) except that the velocity also has the direction of motion associated with it.
When do the velocity and speed of moving body become identical?
It doesn't make sense to compare a scalar quantity (such as speed) with a vector quantity (such as velocity). Therefore you can't say that they "are the same" or "are not the same". If the velocity is constrained to be along the x-axis, for example, then specifying the speed (-10 m/s) will also specify the velocity (-10 m/s x-direction).
What is the biggest difference between speed and velocity?
velocity is speed with direction; velocity is a vector and speed is a scalar
What is speed in a given direction is called?
Speed in a given direction is velocity.
Diffetiate speed and velocity?
Speed has no direction, velocity does.
Is velocity the speed of a wave?
Velocity and speed are not synonyms.
Are speed and velocity different?
SPEED has the speed only; while VELOCITY has the direction and the speed.
How is velocity same from instantaneous speed?
Instantaneous speed is the magnitude of the velocity. Velocity also states the [direction] of the speed.
What is speed in a given direction?
Speed in a given direction is called velocity.
