What else can I help you with?
Is overall velocity the same as average speed?
No, velocity is a vector quantity (i.e. magnitude & direction) while speed is a scalar quantity (i.e. magnitude only).
Can an object have a constant spped and velocity at the same time?
Velocity is a vector quantity. That means it has direction and magnitude. Speed is a scalar quantity, it only has magnitude. It is possible to have constant speed and constant velocity but it is also possible to have constant speed but changing velocity if the object is changing direction.
Is that velocity and speed is same?
No, velocity and speed are not the same. Speed is a scalar quantity representing the rate of change of distance with respect to time, while velocity is a vector quantity representing both the speed and direction of motion.
How can a vehicle at the same time have a constant speed but changing velocity?
Speed is a scalar quantity (direction does not matter) and velocity is a vector quantity) ie velocity means speed in a specific direction. If you are changing direction (turning) in a car, your speed is the same, while your velocity changes.
Is speed similar to velocity?
Speed and velocity are related concepts but not the same. Speed is the rate at which an object moves, while velocity includes both the speed and direction of motion. Velocity is a vector quantity, which means it has both magnitude and direction, while speed is a scalar quantity with only magnitude.
What measures both speed and direction at the same time?
A vector quantity measures both speed and direction at the same time. Velocity is an example of a vector quantity, as it includes both the magnitude (speed) and the direction of an object's motion.
Does a speedmeter give instantaneous speed or velocity?
Velocity is a vector quantity, so a different direction makes a different velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity, where direction makes no difference. Since a speedometer reads the same regardless of direction of motion, it is providing speed, not velocity.
Is speed velocity in a given direction?
Yes , speed in a given direction is called velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that is it has both magnitude as well as direction.
Can speed equal velocity?
No, speed and velocity are not the same. Speed is a scalar quantity that measures how fast an object is moving regardless of its direction, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed of an object and its direction of motion.
Does velocity stay the same when speed and direction stay the same?
Yes, velocity remains the same when both speed and direction remain constant. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, so as long as both are unchanged, the velocity will remain constant.
Explain the difference between velocity and speed?
Velocity includes both speed (magnitude of the velocity) and direction, while speed is just the magnitude of the velocity without any indication of direction. So velocity is a vector quantity, whereas speed is a scalar quantity.
How do you compare velocity and speed?
Velocity is a vectorial quantity, speed with a direction.
