In what instance, if any , the speed and velocity, and distance and displacement means the same?
Just as distance and displacement have distinctly different meanings), so do speed and velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance.

Why is velocity-displacement divided by time?
velocity means the distance traveled in certain time and in a certain direction. Therefore: velocity is the result of dividing the traveled distance by time taken, and adding a direction to it.
Velocity differs from speed in that velocity indicates?
Velocity is a vector quantity, which means that a body's speed and direction are both required to define it. They are different because: Speed is the rate of change of distance with time but velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.
If the average velocity of an object is zero in some time interval what can you say about the displacement of the object for that interval?
When the velocity is zero at the crossing of the time axis, the displacement must be a full maximum or minimum. Scroll down to related links and look at "Displacement - Velocity- Acceleration".
What are the information about speed and velocity?
some may feel speed and velocity are same terms but both are diffrent,let seehow? Speed=distance travelled/time,that means it depents on how much distance you travelled,its a scalar quantity that means it dont depents on the direction velocity:it depents on diaplacement,ie;velocity=displacement/time,displacement is the measure of smallest distance between mean position and last,its a vecter quatity,so its value can be negetive,+ve,and may zero
How do you find distance when you know the time and velocity?
Simple, velocity = distance by time ,which probably means distance = velocity X times.
How does velocity differ from displacement?
Velocity is speed in a particular direction. Usually miles per hour or metres pet second . So that means that velocity is distance divided by time. Displacement is a distance measured in miles, metres etc. And is the difference between the starting position and the finishing position.
What is displacement divided by time?
Displacement divided by time is VELOCITY. Definition of velocity is rate of change of displacement with respect to time. Suppose a object gets displaced by 5m in 2 seconds, its velocity will be5/2=2.5 m/s(m/s is its unit).It means that object will go 2.5m in 1 second. Let us take oone more example. Say a object has moved by 6m in 12 seconds, Its velocity will be:6/12=0.5m/s Means it will cover a distance of 0.5m in one second.
What do you need to know to find and object's velocity?
To find an object's velocity, you need to know its displacement (change in position) and the time taken to cover that displacement. Velocity is calculated by dividing the displacement by the time taken: velocity = displacement / time. The velocity indicates the rate at which the object's position changes over time.
Is distance the magnitude of velocity?
Remember that velocity is a vector quantity which means it needs two criteria to be defined; a magnitude, and a direction. When we discuss the magnitude of velocity, what we are talking about is the speed (30m/s, 45mph, etc). Those examples are examples of speed; it is only when we add a direction that it becomes 'velocity'. So, the difference is: "25m/s" is a speed, but "25m/s east" is a velocity. Speed (the magnitude of velocity) is calculated by taking the total displacement divided by the total time. Speed=(distance travelled)/(time it takes). Hope this helps
Can distance and displacement be negative?
Yes it can. If distance and displacement is positive then it means it's going forwards. If you get a distance or displacement that is negative then means it's going the other direction, backwards.
Does a steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicate large velocity?
Yes, a steep slope on a displacement vs time graph usually indicates a large velocity. The slope of a displacement vs time graph represents the velocity at that point in time. A steeper slope means a faster change in displacement over time, which corresponds to a higher velocity.
What does a steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicate?
The slope of the function on a displacement vs. time graph is (change in displacement) divided by (change in time) which is just the definition of speed. A relatively steep slope indicates a relatively high speed.
