What is the standard units of velocity?
Velocity is speed and its direction. The units of velocity are any unit of speed and any means of indicating a direction.
What is the scientific definiton of speed?
Speed is the magnitude of velocity, with units of distance divided by time. An important distinction is that speed is a scalar and velocity is a vector. Consequently, speed (unlike velocity) does not have a direction.
What is the difference between an object's speed and a object's velocity?
The difference between an object's speed and an object's velocity is that the object's speed is how fast it is going, and the object's velocity is how many units of speed the object has traveled.
How is average velocity different from acceleration?
For a start, acceleration doesn't even have the same units as velocity: acceleration is a velocity divided by time, so while speed or velocity have units of [distance]/[time], acceleration has units of [distance]/[time squared]
Is it possible for an object moving in constant velocity having varying speed justify your answer?
No, it isn't possible. Velocity specifies both speed and direction; if velocity doesn't change, that means that neither the speed nor the direction change.
What is the standard units of velocity?
Velocity is speed and its direction. The units of velocity are any unit of speed and any means of indicating a direction.
Why is velocity and speed same unit?
Velocity is speed, plus an indication of direction. To indicate a velocity, you can indicate a speed (this will logically use units of speed), and a direction.
Can a body have constant velocity but changing speed?
No, not at all possible. But constant speed with changing velocity is possible.
What is the scientific definiton of speed?
Speed is the magnitude of velocity, with units of distance divided by time. An important distinction is that speed is a scalar and velocity is a vector. Consequently, speed (unlike velocity) does not have a direction.
Is it possible that a body has zero speed and nonzero velocity?
No because velocity defined as speed in a given direction so if speed is 0 then velocity must also be 0
How do units for speed and velocity compare?
The units are the same (metres per second) except that the velocity also has the direction of motion associated with it.
What is the difference between an object's speed and a object's velocity?
The difference between an object's speed and an object's velocity is that the object's speed is how fast it is going, and the object's velocity is how many units of speed the object has traveled.
How is average velocity different from acceleration?
For a start, acceleration doesn't even have the same units as velocity: acceleration is a velocity divided by time, so while speed or velocity have units of [distance]/[time], acceleration has units of [distance]/[time squared]
Is it possible to travel at a negitave speed?
Negative speed isn't possible, but negative velocity is.
Is it possible for an object moving in constant velocity having varying speed justify your answer?
No, it isn't possible. Velocity specifies both speed and direction; if velocity doesn't change, that means that neither the speed nor the direction change.
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 it possible to have a constant velocity and a changing speed?
yes
