Does speed tell us what direction an object is moving?
Speed is a scalar quantity and has only magnitude and not direction. Hence, speed cannot tell us what direction an object is moving. However, velocity which is the vector equivalent of speed, can tell us the direction.
What does velocity tell you that speed does not?
Direction.
What the speed and the direction an object are moving?
If you know the speed and direction of the object's motion, then you know its velocity.
Is speed a scalar or vector?
Speed is scalar because it does not involve a direction.
When you know both the speed and direction of an object's while it is in motion do you know the acceleration of the object?
No. For you to know acceleration you need the rate of change of speed and the direction.
How can you figure out velocity?
You check out the speed and direction, and times them together, and it will tell you the velocity of the object.
When you know the speed and the direction of motion you know the?
velocity
How do you find speed if you know the velocity?
Velocity is speed and direction
What does the speed and directiion of and object motion tell us?
The speed and direction of an object is its velocity.
When you know the speed and direction of an of object's motion you know the?
The magnitude and direction of the object's velocity vector.
If you know that a moving object has a constant velocity you can predict correctly where it will be after a given amount of time. however if you know only that the object has a constant speed you cann?
For constant velocity,which means constant speed and constant direction, you predict where it will be after a given amount of time. For constant speed,which means you do not necessarily know direction, you cannot predict where it will be after a given amount of time, since direction can be changing. Speed is a scalar and velocity a vector.For example of a car is traveling in a circle you cannot tell where it will be in time unless you know the direction change and the radius of the circle for example. If a baseball is thrown to home plate by the pitcher at a speed of 90 mph, in a straight line, now you know speed and direction and if both constant then velocity is constant.
Is 88 mh speed or velocity?
88 mph is 88 miles per hour, since that doesn't tell you what direction it is going it is speed. Velocity is speed and direction.
