The speed of a body is exactly the magnitude (size) of its velocity.
But velocity also tells in what direction the body is moving,
whereas speed doesn't.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoThe speed of the body is greater than or equal to its velocity in any particular direction.

How is speed of a body related its velocity?
Part of every velocity is a speed. Speed is the size of the velocity.But the velocity also has a direction, which the speed doesn't.'30 mph North' and '30 mph West' are the same speed but different velocity.
What is the nature of velocity time graph of a body moving with uniform retardation?
A body moving at a uniform speed may have a uniform velocity, or its velocity could be changing. How could that be? Let's look. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity is speed.
How is motion related to velocity?
If an object is in motion it has a Velocity, which is speed and direction.
Can speed of a body change if its velocity is constant?
No. A body with constant velocity is either stationary or going at constant speed in a constant direction. The usual interpretation of speed and velocity goes like this. A velocity is a vector with magnitude and direction. The magnitude is usually called its speed. Changing a speed must change the length of the vector and changing the length of the velocity vector has to change the velocity.
How is speed and acceleration related?
Acceleration is the change in velocity ("speed") over time.
How is speed of a body related its velocity?

Can velocity of a body vary if speed of the body change?
velocity means speed of an object and in a definite direction.That shows velocity changes with speed
How are the mass of the body and escape speed related?
The greater the mass of the planet, the greater will be the escape velocity.
What is the speed velocity of a body?
In common speech, velocity means speed, they are the same thing.

How is motion related to velocity?
If an object is in motion it has a Velocity, which is speed and direction.
Can a body have a constant velocity but varying speed?
No. If the speed varies, the body accelerates, and velocity cannot be constant.
Can a velocity of a body change its speed is constant?
No. A body with constant velocity is either stationary or going at constant speed in a constant direction. The usual interpretation of speed and velocity goes like this. A velocity is a vector with magnitude and direction. The magnitude is usually called its speed. Changing a speed must change the length of the vector and changing the length of the velocity vector has to change the velocity.

A velocity is a vector with magnitude and direction. The magnitude is usually called its speed. Changing a speed must change the length of the vector and changing the length of the velocity vector has to change the velocity.
Can a body have constant velocity but changing speed?
No, not at all possible. But constant speed with changing velocity is possible.
When a body is dropped how is the velocity related to time?
When a body is dropped . . . -- The speed keeps increasing. -- The speed is always 32.2 feet per second (9.8 meters per second) faster than it was one second earlier. -- The direction of the speed is always downward, and never changes. -- Combining the speed and direction gives you the velocity.
Can the velocity of a body be constant still varying its speed?
Yes. Velocity is rate (or speed) in a given direction. If you change your direction but not your rate (or speed) then you have changed your velocity without changing speed.
