Is the formula for velocity different than the formula for speed?

The size of the velocity is the speed, and you calculate it the same way. But when
you find the size of the velocity, you're not done yet, because you also need its
direction.

Is velocity for waves different than speed?
Speed and velocity are never the same thing.Velocity means 'speed' AND the direction it's going.
What does velocity include that makes it different than speed?
direction
How is speed different than velocity?
Speed does not have the direction associated with it, like velocity does.
Can a particle in one dimensional motion have less speed than velocity?
Speed and velocity cannot be compared because they are different things. It is like saying "apples > oranges". Velocity is a vector and, as such, it has a direction and a size. The size of the vector velocity is it's speed.To answer your question: no because they can't be compared. And if you wanted to ask if the size of the velocity vector being smaller than the speed... no... that is the definition of speed... so it cannot be different, regardless of the number of dimensions you are using.
What the rate of change in position or rate of motion?
Velocity, which is different than speed in that it has a directional component to it.
What is the rate of change position or rate of motion?
Velocity, which is different than speed in that it has a directional component to it.
What is the rate of motion or the rate of change in position?
Velocity, which is different than speed in that it has a directional component to it.
What is the rate of change in position or rate of motion?
Velocity, which is different than speed in that it has a directional component to it.
If the final velocity will be less than initial velocity the object is increasing speed or decreasing speed?
increasing speed
Why we does not use speed instead of velocity?
When the direction of motion is relevant, you would use velocity rather than speed.
Can an items velocity ever be greater than it's speed?
The velocity of an object cannot ever be greater than its speed as the two are directly linked. Velocity is very similar to speed except that it also takes direction into consideration.
Jake and Brenda drove at a speed of 30 mph for 1 hour Then they turned around and drove 45 mph until they were back where they started What is true about their average speed and average velocity?
their average speed is greater than their average velocity.
