One example problem of speed and velocity would be 'What is the speed of a sailboat traveling 100 meters in 180 seconds?' You can use a calculator to solve these types of problems.
One example of Velocity is that if you are running in the same direction, your speed and velocity is the same. But if you are running AROUND the track, your speed is the same but your velocity is changing.
Velocity is the speed of an object.
Acceleration refers to the rate of change of velocity - how quickly velocity changes. In symbols: dv/dt. When the velocity changes, the speed may, or may not, change. For example, if an object moves in a circle at a uniform speed, its velocity is changing, but its speed is not.
If no direction is mentioned, then you have a speed. Example: "30 miles per hour". If the direction is mentioned, then you have a velocity. Example: "30 miles per hour north".
In common language, the terms are used interchangeably. But in physics, speed is a scalar; velocity is a vector. That is, a speed is just a number (and a unit) - for example, 50 kilometers/hour. But when it is important to distinguish a direction, you talk about a velocity. For example, "50 kilometer/hour to the north". Velocity is a speed AND a direction. "50 km/hour north" and "50 km/hour east" are the same speed but different velocity.
These problems are concerned with speed and distance.One example of a velocity word problem could be; "If a dolphin swims at 2.6 miles per hour, how far will it have traveled in 40 minutes?".
One example of Velocity is that if you are running in the same direction, your speed and velocity is the same. But if you are running AROUND the track, your speed is the same but your velocity is changing.
Speed is what it is: speed. Velocity is speed in a given direction, a vector quantity.
An object's velocity is it's speed plus direction. example: 55mph south Hope this helps:)
constant velocity means the speed and direction are the same.

Speed is an example of a rate of change. It is specifically the rate of change of distance over time.In calculus, speed is the absolute value of velocity. Velocity measures both speed and direction, while speed only measures speed. For example, if a car is driving backward with a speed of 90km/h, its velocity would be -90km/h because "backward" indicates a "negative" velocity.
If the velocity changes, the speed may, or may not, change. The velocity can be thought of as having two components: a speed, and a direction. It is possible to change only the direction, for example, when an object moves in a circle at a constant speed. In this case, the velocity changes, but the speed does not.
Velocity magnitude is unchanging at constant speed. The direction might change (velocity is a vector with both size (speed) and direction) if , for example, you are driving around a curve at a constant speed.
velocity means a speed and direction for example: if you say your driving 60mph then you are giving a speed but if you say your driving 60mph south then your giving a velocity.
If no direction is mentioned, then you have a speed. Example: "30 miles per hour". If the direction is mentioned, then you have a velocity. Example: "30 miles per hour north".
