The average speed of motion is when speed is changing. Speed equals total distance divided by total travel time. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.

Does motion create speed?

Motion and speed are synonymous terms, with just a slight difference of emphasis. Speed suggests fast motion. Other than that, they are the same thing. Speed is a form of motion, so in that sense, motion does crreate speed. Obviously, an object that is not moving has a speed of zero.


How is motion and speed related?

speed is a measure of the rate of motion.


Does motion occur when there is a change in speed?

Motion occurs when there is speed. A change of speed is not required.


Does motion occur when there's a change in speed?

Motion occurs when there is speed. A change of speed is not required.


What are the kinds of motion according to the change in direction and change in speed?

Motion can be classified into four types based on changes in direction and speed: Rectilinear motion: Motion along a straight line with constant speed. Uniform circular motion: Motion in a circular path at a constant speed. Accelerated motion: Motion with a change in speed but moving in a straight line. Curvilinear motion: Motion with changes in both speed and direction, following a curved path.


What kind of motion does the speed and direction not change?

Acceleration in motion refers to a change in speed or direction of that object's motion. So a type of motion in which speed and direction do not change is a motion in which the acceleration is constant (i.e. unchanging).


What is the speed of particles motion known as?

The speed of particle motion is known as velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that specifies both the speed and direction of an object's motion.


What is rate of motion?

Speed is the rate of motion.


Which two factors determine speed of motion?

Speed of motion is determined by time and distance.


What type of science will study motion and speed?

Motion and speed are parts of the study of physics.


Does motion affect the speed of an object?

Short answer: yes. An object in "motion" has a "speed" simply by virtue of its being in motion. An object possessing a speed is inherently in motion. In this sense they have similar meanings. Speed is a rate of change in position. Motion is a change in position (in progress). In this sense, speed is more specific than motion in that speed has a quantitative value. Conversely, there can be no "speed" without "motion". To be complete, "velocity" is even more specific than speed in that it contains a rate of change in position together with a direction. That is, speed is a "scalar" quantity, and "velocity" is a vector quantity.


What is the different between motion and acceleration?

Motion is about speed of location change, acceleration is about speed change.
