No. Velocity is a vector that describes both the direction in which an object is moving and its speed in that direction.

Velocity is a measure of an objects what two things?

Velocity is a measure of an object's speed and direction of motion. It describes how fast an object is moving and in which direction it is moving.


Is velocity an objects speed and direction of motion?

Velocity is an objects speed in a given direction e.g. a runner having run round a circular track of 400m in circumference has 0 velocity.


What is the difference between a objects speed and an objects velocity?

Speed is a scalar quantity that describes how fast an object is moving regardless of its direction, while velocity is a vector quantity that describes both the speed and direction of an object's motion. Speed is expressed as a magnitude only, whereas velocity includes both magnitude and direction.


What describes both speed and direction?

Velocity describes both the speed and direction an object is moving.


What describes an objects speed and its direction?

Velocity describes an object's speed and its direction. Speed refers to how fast an object is moving, while direction indicates its movement in a specific path or orientation. Velocity combines both of these aspects to provide a comprehensive description of the object's motion.


What includes a moving object's direction and speed?

The velocity of a moving object includes its direction and speed. Velocity is a vector quantity that describes both the object's speed (magnitude of velocity) and its direction of motion.


What describes an object and speed and direction?

As regards a moving object, we call the measure of the speed and direction it is moving its velocity.


What two things does velocity tell about an objects motion?

Velocity tells us the speed at which an object is moving and the direction in which it is moving.


Two objects with the same velocity must be moving in the same?

They would be traveling at the same speed. Two objects moving with the same velocity must be moving in the same direction and at the same speed. The reason for this is because velocity is speed in a specified direction. Another way to say that is to say that velocity is speed with a direction vector. It is a physical quantity with magnitude and direction. Two objects moving with the same speed could be moving toward a head-on collision. Or they could be moving along convergent, divergent or skewed paths. Not so with two objects that have identical velocities. They are moving on the same or on parallel courses, and they are moving at the same speed.


How fast an object moves in the direction it moves?

The speed of an object moving in a specific direction is called its velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that describes both the speed of the object and the direction in which it is moving. Speed only describes how fast an object is moving without specifying the direction.


Does velocity describes the speed and direction of an object?

Yes, velocity describes both the speed and direction of an object's motion. Speed is the magnitude of velocity (how fast the object is moving), while direction indicates the path the object is following.


When you know both speed and direction of an object's motion you know the?

When you know both the speed and direction of an object's motion, you know its velocity. Velocity describes both how fast an object is moving (speed) and in what direction it is moving.
