What else can I help you with?
What are facts about speed?
speed is not a vector. Velocity is a vector. speed can also be used for angular velocity (which is a vector). Speed is sort of a catch all word that can cover all poorly defined velocities.
Why is velocity a vector but not a speed?
Because velocity has a direction but speed does not. A vector has both a numerical value and a direction but a speed has only a numerical value and therefore it can't be represented by a vector.
Is speed a vector or a scaler?
Speed is a scalar .
Why do we say that velocity is a vector and speed is not a vector?
Velocity is a vector because it has both magnitude (speed) and direction. Speed, on the other hand, is a scalar quantity that only has magnitude. Vector quantities require both magnitude and direction to be fully described.
How is velocity diffrent from speed?
Velocity is a vector, and so it has two components -- magnitude (speed) and direction. Speed is a scalar, and it is the magnitude of velocity, a vector.
Which is vector speed or velocity?
"Speed" is a scalar; "velocity" is a vector.
Why is velocity a vector but speed is not?
Because velocity has a direction but speed does not. A vector has both a numerical value and a direction but a speed has only a numerical value and therefore it can't be represented by a vector.
How do you find speed given a vector?
Given a vector, speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector, |v|. Consider vector V= IVx + JVy + KVz the magnitude is |V| = ( Vx2 + Vy2 + Vz2)1/2
Which is a vector quantity speed or velocity?
Velocity is a vector quantity because it includes both the speed of an object and its direction of motion. Speed is a scalar quantity because it only represents the magnitude of motion without direction.
Is 55 miles per hour a vector?
No. It is a speed (a scalar) but not a velocity (a vector).
Which of these references a velocity (not speed)?
I would say vector
The magnitude of a vector represents its?
That depends on what the vector, itself, represents. For example, if the vector represents velocity, then the magnitude of the vector represents speed. If the vector represents displacement, then the magnitude of the vector represents distance.
