Compare velocity from acceleration?

Velocity is a constant traveling speed. Acceleration is increasing traveling speed (variation of speed over time)


How do you compare and contrast speed velocity and acceleration?

Speed is the rate at which an object moves, while velocity is the rate at which an object changes its position. Acceleration, on the other hand, is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. Speed and velocity are scalar quantities, while acceleration is a vector quantity.


How do units for speed and velocity compare?

The units are the same (metres per second) except that the velocity also has the direction of motion associated with it.


When do the velocity and speed of moving body become identical?

It doesn't make sense to compare a scalar quantity (such as speed) with a vector quantity (such as velocity). Therefore you can't say that they "are the same" or "are not the same". If the velocity is constrained to be along the x-axis, for example, then specifying the speed (-10 m/s) will also specify the velocity (-10 m/s x-direction).


What is speed in a given direction is called?

Speed in a given direction is velocity.


Are speed and velocity different?

SPEED has the speed only; while VELOCITY has the direction and the speed.


How is speed of a body related its velocity?

Part of every velocity is a speed. Speed is the size of the velocity.But the velocity also has a direction, which the speed doesn't.'30 mph North' and '30 mph West' are the same speed but different velocity.


What is speed in a given direction?

Speed in a given direction is called velocity.


How do you find speed if you know the velocity?

Velocity is speed and direction


What is the difference betweenn speed and velocity?

Velocity is speed with a direction


What is instantaneous velocity or speed?

It is the speed or velocity at a particular instant.


How are speed and velocity diffrent?

Speed is a scalar, velocity is a vector. In other words, when the direction of the speed is relevant, it is called a velocity.
