Does average velocity and average speed have the same number?
velocity is a vector and speed is scalar. Velocity has magnitude and directions, with magnitude being speed. The magnitude of average velocity and average speed is the same.
What term represents the magnitude of velocity vector?
The term "speed" is commonly used to designate the magnitude of the velocity vector.
Is velocity a vector or a scalar?
no its a vector quantity,not a scalar quantity,bcz still it z a velocity bt NT a speed On a typical journey the average velocity is the straight-line distance between the start and finish, divided by the time taken, and it also has a direction. The average speed is the actual distance run, divided by the speed. The average speed might not be equal to the magnitude of the average velocity. For example on a round trip the average speed might be 40 mph, while the average velocity is zero.
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.
Is velocity a vector?
True ,velocity is a vector quantity ,it is specified by a magnitude and direction.
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).
What is magnitude - like in a vector?
Here's a vector: "30 miles an hour, going north"The name of that vector is "velocity". It has a magnitude and a direction. Themagnitude of this velocity is 30 miles an hour. We usually call that "speed".The direction of this velocity is "north".The magnitude tells how big the vector is. The direction tells which way it points."30 miles an hour" is not a velocity. It's a speed. Speed is only the magnitude ofa velocity vector, because it has no direction. Once we know the direction, we canput it together with the magnitude, and we'll have a vector, called "velocity".
What is Scalar Velocity?
Velocity is a vector , which it means it has both magnitude and direction. Scalars have only magnitude. The magnitude of a velocity vector is usually called speed . Although I have never heard it called by that name, scalar velocity is speed.
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.
What is velocity and why is it a vector?
Velocity is an indication of a speed, including a direction. It is a vector because that is how a vector is defined (a magnitude, including a direction).
Velocity is a vector therefore has?
magnitude and direction
The velocity of an object includes?
Velocity is a vector. As every vector in includes direction and magnitude (as 'oppose' to scalar). If that is what you meant by this vague question.
