Speed is a measure of how fast an object is going. This is a scalar quantity, which means it only gives magnitude (size) information. Velocity is a vector quantity, which is very similar to speed, but it also includes direction information.
Example:
Speed of car = 60 km/h
Velocity of car = 60 km/h in a Northwesterly direction
What else can I help you with?
What is an objects velocity?
An object's velocity is it's speed plus direction. example: 55mph south Hope this helps:)
Why speed doesn't have direction?
speed does have direction :p
What word means speed in a specific direction?
velocity is the name given to speed in a specific direction.
How is velocity different from speed?
Velocity is a vector quantity and so has an associated direction.Speed is a scalar quantity and hence does not.Velocity is a vector and speed is a scalar Velocity is different because it also includes it's magnitude and direction. If positive is left and negative is right. Say a car is going in the positive direction then decides to stop and back up at the same speed it was going before. When it is backing up, it will be going in a negative direction. However, if it was speed, it's speed wouldn't change. Speed does not measure the magntidude or direction.Velocity is speed with direction . The formula of velocity is :v= delta "r" / t [ velocity = movement / time ]Speed is a movement without direction .The formula of speed is :v= S / tImagine a car moving forward for 50meters and then moving backwards for 20 meters .The movement in velocity (delta r) --> 50-20= 30mThe "s" in Speed ---> 50+20= 70mso in velocity you gotta take into consideration , whether the car moves forward or backwards . As far as speed is concerned , the only thing you need to do is summing up all the distance that the car's made .
What is the speed of an object moving on a particular direction?
The speed of an object moving in a particular direction is called the velocity and it's a vector, that is, it has magnitude and direction. Speed is the scalar part of velocity.
What is the speed of an object plus its direction?
The speed of an object plus its direction is called velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that combines the object's speed (magnitude of the velocity) and its direction of motion.
Speed plus direction?
Velocity
What is the definition velocity?
Speed plus the direction of travel.
Why is velocity and speed same unit?
Velocity is speed, plus an indication of direction. To indicate a velocity, you can indicate a speed (this will logically use units of speed), and a direction.
What is the definition of speed of an object and specification of its direction of motion?
If the speed of an object is cited and its direction of motion is also cited, we have the velocity of the object. Velocity is speed plus a direction vector.
Can wind have speed?
Wind is simply the movement of air. By definition, this movement has velocity (it has speed plus a direction).
Speed and velocity how are they alike?
Speed and velocity both describe how fast an object is moving. The main difference is that velocity includes direction, whereas speed is just a measure of how fast something is moving regardless of direction.
Why at a constant speed if an object changes its direction it is considered to be acceleration?
Acceleration is defined as any change in velocity, which includes changes in speed, direction, or both. When an object changes its direction while moving at a constant speed, it is still accelerating because its velocity is changing due to the change in direction. This change in velocity, even if the speed remains constant, is what defines it as acceleration.
What is an objects velocity?
An object's velocity is it's speed plus direction. example: 55mph south Hope this helps:)
What is speed is given direction?
The amount of speed in a given direction is the 'component' of speed in that direction. The total amount of speed AND the direction of the total speed is the 'velocity' of the moving object.
How can you put velocity in a science example?
the velocity of an object is the size of the speed/magnitude plus the direction it is going in
What is the difference between velocity and speed?
Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, while speed is a scalar quantity that only represents how fast an object is moving regardless of direction. In other words, velocity tells you not only how fast something is going, but also in which direction.
