Want this question answered?
If the car rounds the turn, then its velocity is not constant.Velocity is a thing that has magnitude and direction. The magnitude is what we call "speed".If the direction is changing, then the velocity is changing, even if the speed is constant.
Speed and velocity always have the same magnitude, becausespeed is the magnitude of velocity.The difference is that velocity has a direction but speed doesn't
No. Velocity consists of a magnitude and a direction. The magnitude of velocity is called "speed", and that's what the speedometer measures. But it displays no information concerning the direction in which the car is moving.
The speed of the car. The speed-o-meter only shows a magnitude ( or a number ) and to tell the velocity of a car it would have to give that speed some direction. Since the speedometer assigns no direction to the car, the number assigned as the speed of the car cannot be the velocity of the car.
Speed is magnitude of velocity, also velocity possess direction.

Yes. Velocity is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Speed is the magnitude of velocity. If speed is constant but the direction is changing, then the velocity is changing. An example is a car turning a corner without slowing down.
Velocity has magnitude and direction and speed only has magnitude.
velocity is a vector and speed is scalar. Velocity has magnitude and directions, with magnitude being speed. The magnitude of average velocity and average speed is the same.

Velocity is a vector, and so it has two components -- magnitude (speed) and direction. Speed is a scalar, and it is the magnitude of velocity, a vector.
If the car is moving at a constant speed but is changing direction, it is accelerating. Acceleration is change in velocity, and velocity includes magnitude (speed) and direction.
Speed is magnitude of velocity, also velocity possess direction.
Speed is the magnitude of velocity (which has a direction as well).
