Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.

How speed increase with velocity?

Velocity is a vector which incorporates both speed (a scalar) and direction. So the speed (distance divided by time) must increase if the velocity increases as the direction (an angular measurement) does not affect the absolute value of the vector.


What is the difference an objects speed and an objects velocity?

Speed only tells how fast something is going, while velocity tells speed and direction.


How do you measure an objects speed and direction?

Velocity


What is the difference of an objects speed and an objects volocity?

when you know both speed and direction of an objects motion you know the velocity of an object.


Which term can be described both the speed and the direction of an objects motion?

VELOCITY


How do you know when something has the same velocity and when it doesnt?

By definition, it would have the same speed and direction as the compared object. This can be evidenced by the two objects having an unchanging spatial relationship: i.e. the objects remain the same direction and distance from each other.


Consists of an objects speed and direction?

angular velocity


Disscuss the relationship between velocity and accleration?

accleration is the speed. Velocity is when you know the speed of an object and its direction.


What do you call it when an objects velocity changes?

A change in an objects velocity is called acceleration. Velocity is defined as an objects speed of travel AND its direction of travel. Acceleration can change only an objects speed, only its direction or both. If there is no acceleration acting on the object, then the velocity remains constant.


What includes the speed of the objects and the direction of its motion?

Speed and direction is called velocity.


The measure of an objects speed and direction is the objects?

The measure of an object's speed and direction is the object's velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed (magnitude) and the direction of motion of an object.


What forces can affect an objects velocity but not the speed?

Centripetal forces can.
