There is no special equation. But to fully specify a velocity, you need to know an object's speed as well as the direction in it moves.

It can be important to know the velocity of an object not just its speed because?
We distinguish between speed and velocity because if you add the speedsof objects, their directions are important. For example, the velocity of an airplane with ...
What is velocity equal to?
Velocity = displacement (Δd) / (Δt) time Furthering this physics equation would depend on your use (ex. if it was "relative" or "motion" )
What is the biggest difference between speed and velocity?
velocity is speed with direction; velocity is a vector and speed is a scalar
Diffetiate speed and velocity?
Speed has no direction, velocity does.
How is velocity same from instantaneous speed?
Instantaneous speed is the magnitude of the velocity. Velocity also states the [direction] of the speed.
What is the equation for motion?
Which one SPEED? VELOCITY? ACCELERATION ?...
Why is the absolute value of velocity speed?
It's a scrambled equation. What you meant to say is, "The absolute value of velocity equals speed."
What is the equation for velocity approaching that the speed of light?
The equation isv ≈ c
Is true that absolute value of speed equals velocity?
No, you've got it backwards. The absolute value of velocity equals speed. Velocity is speed with a direction; speed is just a number, without regard to direction.
In the acceleration equation what do v1 and v2 represent?
v1 = initial velocity v2 = final velocity
What is the equation for uniform velocity?
V = constant Speed = constant Direction = constant Acceleration = 0
When is the speed of a fluid maximum in a venturi meter?
from the continuity equation A1v1 = A2v2 according to the continuity equation as the area decreases the velocity of the flow of the liquid increases and hence maximum velocity can be obtained at its throat
It can be important to know the velocity of an object not just its speed because?
We distinguish between speed and velocity because if you add the speedsof objects, their directions are important. For example, the velocity of an airplane with ...
How are frequency speed and wavelength related?
they are related by the equation velocity=frequency*wavelength
What is for acceleration?
Acceleration = force / mass The correct equation would be acceleration= the final velocity - the initial velocity divided by time which can be written like this: V (Final speed) - U (Starting speed) ____________________________ T (Time)
How do you write an equation for distance?
Distance= speed/ time D=V/t (capitals are important for distance and velocity
What is the speed and velocity?
Speed is the rate at which something moves, and can be calculated by the equation: speed = distance / time. Speed does not have a direction associated with it. So if you are in a car and travel 60 miles in 2 hours, your average speed would be 30 miles per hour. Velocity is very similar to speed, but it does have a direction associated with it. That is the only difference.
