Velocity of a body is the distance travelled by it per unit time in a given direction. Velocity is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude as well as direction.

An object's mass and its velocity define the object's MOMENTUM.

What are two components used to define motion?

Velocity and acceleration are two components used to define motion. Velocity describes the speed and direction of an object's motion, while acceleration describes how quickly an object's velocity is changing.

which quantities define momentum?

The quantities of production in mass of a particle with velocity describe momentum.


Velocity differs from speed in that velocity indicates?

Velocity is a vector quantity, which means that a body's speed and direction are both required to define it. They are different because: Speed is the rate of change of distance with time but velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.


Define and describe how to calculate velocity?

Velocity of a body is the distance travelled by it per unit time in a given direction. Velocity is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude as well as direction. Velocity can be calculated using any of the 3 laws of motion given by Newton.


Can the speed of body be negative?

The problem here is the conflating of the term "speed" with "velocity". Velocity is a vector - it has both intensity and direction. Velocity can be negative. Speed really only has magnitude, so it is normally only positive; since there is no direction associated you can't define a meaning for negative speed (unless you decide to define it as synonymous with velocity) When a body is thrown in upward direction and upward motion is defined as positive velocity, its velocity decreases with time and at highest point speed and velocity become zero. When the body falls downward its speed i increases until hit the ground but since it is moving in the opposite of the direction that was defined as "positive", its velocity is negative.


At which positions on the x-axis is v0?

The answer depends on what v0 is. And since you have not bothered to define it I cannot provide a more useful answer.


How do you get initial velocity without acceleration?

If acceleration is zero, then the initial velocity can be calculated by dividing the change in position by the change in time. This formula assumes that there are no external forces acting on the object to affect its velocity.
