Velocity is a vector measurement, it has both a speed quantity, but also includes direction. Speed is a scalar measurement, it only concerns with the how fast the object is moving, not its direction

Can the relative velocity of two bodies be greater than the absolute velocity of either?
Yes it can be!!! If two cars on a straight road head directly toward each other at a speed of 60mph (relative to the road), the velocity of one relative to the other is 120mph. This example arbitrarily uses the road as the reference for each car's speed, but there really is no such thing as "absolute velocity" and both cars would have a velocity of about 1000mph relative to the center of the Earth. According to Einstein's principles of "Relativity" all velocity is relative.
What is meant by terminal velocity of a falling object?
The terminal velocity of a falling object is the constant speed where the force of gravity is equal to the force of drag. Then the forces cancel each other out. Essentially, terminal velocity is when the speed of a falling object is no longer changing. It isn't accelerating or slowing. It's constant.
Does horizontal velocity effect the rate of vertical velocity?
No, horizontal velocity and vertical velocity are independent and have no effect on each other.
Electromagnetic waves differ from each other in?
wavelength & frequency (but remember frequency is only a derivative of wavelength for any given propagation velocity) 'Amplitude' also varies (bigger waves!)
Two bus are moving at the same velocity. What is the speed of either bus with respect to the other?
If their velocities are equal, then the speed of each bus relative to the other is zero. A passenger on one bus could read a newspaper held up by a passenger on the other one.
Are Speed and velocity the same thing?
No. Speed has no direction. Velocity is speed anddirection.
How does perceived speed differ from actual speed when two objects are approaching each other and when they are traveling away from each other?
There is addition of the speed.
What is the speed of an object but it has a specific direction?
I think u guy talking about velocity velocity is often confusing with speed but it is differnt from each

When speed changes does its velocity change?
When the object is acted upon by an outside force.

Do the cells beneath the formative phase differ from each other?
due to their structure and function they are differ from each other

How do eukaryotic cells differ from each other?
Eukaryotic cells differ from each other due to their structure and function
