Speed and velocity are never the same thing.
Velocity means 'speed' AND the direction it's going.

How matter waves are greater than the velocity of light?
There are some situations in which waves move faster than the speed of light; but in no case can this be used to transmit matter, energy, or information, at a speed faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.
How is speed different than velocity?
Speed does not have the direction associated with it, like velocity does.
Does the same wave travel at different speeds in different mediums?
Short Answer:The speed of a wave depends very much on the type of the wave and the medium though which it moves.More:Sound waves in air, water waves in the ocean and light waves in space are waves different waves in different mediums and with vastly different speeds. Each of these types of waves changes speed dramatically in different media. Ripples move at a different speed than ocean waves. Light in glass travels at about two thirds of the speed of light in a vacuum and sound waves in metal are much faster than sound waves in air. Another good example is waves from an earthquake, which occur in two different forms and which are regularly experienced as separate shocks from an earthquake.
If the final velocity will be less than initial velocity the object is increasing speed or decreasing speed?
increasing speed
Are wave speeds dependent on material?
Yes, wave speeds are dependent on the material through which the wave is propagating. Different materials have different properties that affect how quickly a wave can travel through them. For example, sound waves travel faster in solids than in liquids or gases. Similarly, electromagnetic waves, such as light, travel at different speeds in different mediums, with the speed being fastest in a vacuum.

What does velocity include that makes it different than speed?
direction

Why the velocity x rays is less than the speed of light?
It isn't - at least, not in a vacuum. All electromagnetic waves have the same speed in the vacuum. Both visible light and x-rays are electromagnetic waves.
Is the velocity of light more than velocity of radio waves?
No as they are both electromagnetic waves so have the same velocity but have differing wavelengths and frequencies.
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 whenyou find the size of the velocity, you're not done yet, because you also need itsdirection.

Which seismic wave travels the slowest?
Surface waves, Secondary waves, Primary waves :) I had this as a science question in school a few weeks ago... hope this helps :) Oh whoops i didnt log in so i did it again.... :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
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.
