Speed and direction combined produce velocity, which is a vectory notation.

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 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.


When you know both the speed and direction of an objection motion you know the?

velocity


When you know both speed and direction of an object's motion you know the?

When you know both the speed and direction of an object's motion, you know its velocity. Velocity describes both how fast an object is moving (speed) and in what direction it is moving.


What does velocity tell you that speed does not?

Velocity tells you the speed of an object in a specific direction, while speed only tells you the how fast it is moving regardless of direction. Velocity is a vector quantity, combining speed with direction, whereas speed is a scalar quantity.


When you know the speed and the direction of motion you know the?

velocity


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.


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 both speed and direction an object in motion you know the?

When you know both speed and direction of an object in motion, you know the velocity of the object. Velocity is a vector quantity that describes how fast an object is moving and in what direction.


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.
