What is the difference between the unit the speed and velocity?
Velocity tells the speed AND what direction it's in. -- "30 miles per hour" is a speed. -- "30 miles per hour north" is a velocity. -- "30 miles per hour east" and "30 miles per hour south" are the same speed but different velocities.
What is speed and how is speed different from velocity?
Velocity is speed plus direction. If you say you are traveling at 54 miles per hour, you are giving your speed. If you say you are going north at 54 miles per hour, you are giving your velocity.
What can velocity be compared with?
'Velocity' should be compared with 'speed', and it should be understood that they're different. "30 miles per hour" is a speed. "30 miles per hour toward the south" is a velocity.
What is the difference between speed and velocity is that velocity?
Velocity is speed and its direction. "30 miles per hour" is a speed. "30 miles per hour north" is a velocity". "30 miles per hour north" and "30 miles per hour south" are identical speeds but different velocities.
What measurement is this 55 miles per hour?
Speed or velocity.
What can be measured in miles per hour.?
a) A speed, b) a velocity.
What is 5 miles per hour an example of?
Speed or velocity.
Is speed equal to velocity?
Velocity is a vector, which means it has a direction, but speed isn't. Speed is the absolute value of velocity. Velocity can be negative, meaning that the speed is opposite to the direction that you're calling the positive direction.
What is the velocity of a car?
The velocity of a car is the speed at which it is moving and also the direction in which it is travelling. It might be 55 miles per hour east, or 35 miles per hour southwest, or just about anything else like that.
Can speed equal velocity?
No, speed and velocity are not the same. Speed is a scalar quantity that measures how fast an object is moving regardless of its direction, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed of an object and its direction of motion.
Is 55 miles per hour a vector?
No. It is a speed (a scalar) but not a velocity (a vector).
What is your initial velocity if you traveled 25 miles in 2 minutes and your final velocity is 0 mile per hour?
If you traveled 25 miles in 2 minutes, your average speed was 25 miles per 2 minutes or 750 miles per hour. If your rate of deceleration was constant, your initial speed was two times 750 miles per hour or 1500 mph. I do not have enough information to determine your initial velocity because I don't know what direction you were going, and velocity is speed with direction.
