Can speed equal velocity?
Speed is the size of velocity. But velocity also has a direction. "30 miles per hour" is speed. "30 miles per hour north" is velocity.
What is the difference between speed and velocity is that velocity?
Velocity is speed and its direction. "30 miles per hour" is a speed. "30 miles per hour north" is a velocity". "30 miles per hour north" and "30 miles per hour south" are identical speeds but different velocities.
What is the difference between the unit the speed and velocity?
Velocity tells the speed AND what direction it's in. -- "30 miles per hour" is a speed. -- "30 miles per hour north" is a velocity. -- "30 miles per hour east" and "30 miles per hour south" are the same speed but different velocities.
What is speed and how is speed different from velocity?
Velocity is speed plus direction. If you say you are traveling at 54 miles per hour, you are giving your speed. If you say you are going north at 54 miles per hour, you are giving your velocity.
What can velocity be compared with?
'Velocity' should be compared with 'speed', and it should be understood that they're different. "30 miles per hour" is a speed. "30 miles per hour toward the south" is a velocity.
How can you differentiate velocity from speed?
If no direction is mentioned, then you have a speed. Example: "30 miles per hour". If the direction is mentioned, then you have a velocity. Example: "30 miles per hour north".
What can be measured in miles per hour.?
a) A speed, b) a velocity.
What measurement is this 55 miles per hour?
Speed or velocity.
What is 5 miles per hour an example of?
Speed or velocity.
What is the definition of velocity and how is it different from speed?
Velocity tells the speed and also the direction. "30 miles per hour north" and "30 miles per hour west" are the same speed but different velocities.
Is speed equal to velocity?
Velocity is a vector, which means it has a direction, but speed isn't. Speed is the absolute value of velocity. Velocity can be negative, meaning that the speed is opposite to the direction that you're calling the positive direction.
Is 55 miles per hour a vector?
No. It is a speed (a scalar) but not a velocity (a vector).
