Velocity has direction as well as magnitude. Speed only has magnitude. So the velocity of something can change without its speed changing. This is what is happening when something is going in a circle.

Does change in the velocity of an object always indicate a change in speed?

No, a change in velocity can also be due to a change in direction even if the speed remains constant. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, so changes in either component can result in a change in velocity.


Can you have constant speed but change in velocity?

Yes, you can have constant speed but change in velocity if the direction of motion changes. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. So, even if the speed remains constant, if the direction changes, the velocity changes.


Does a change in speed of an object always produce a change in the velocity?

Yes.


Does change in speed of an object always produce a change in velocity?

Yes.


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 does a flat line on a velocity -time graph represent?

A flat line would indicate a constant velocity, no change in speed.


Can velocity speed up an object?

Well velocity is basically the same thing as speed but with direction (velocity can be negative or positive and speed is always positive). l velocity l = speed So a change in velocity means a change in speed.


How does a change in speed change velocity?

due to acceleration the speed and velocity will change automatically


Is a change in speed a change in velocity?

Yes, a change in speed can also be a change in velocity if the direction of the object's motion also changes. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, so any change in speed or direction will result in a change in velocity.


What is the symbol for speed and velocity?

The symbol for speed is "v" and the symbol for velocity is "v" with an arrow on top to indicate its direction.


Why a change in speed of the rover might not effect its velocity?

A change in speed may not affect the velocity of the rover if the change in speed happens in a direction perpendicular to the current velocity vector. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, so changes in speed alone may not affect the overall velocity if the direction remains constant.


What makes velocity different from acceleration?

Acceleration is the change of speed upward. Velocity is any speed, in a fixed direction. So the diference, is that in speed; the direction can change, but the speed remain constant. Only if it moves faster or slower dose the speed change. So in velocity, if the speed, or the direction change, then the velocity changes.
