Velocity is speed with direction.

To show the difference, show the direction of an object compared with speed alone.

For example, a speedometer shows speed alone, a car on a road can show speed and direction.

What is different between speed and velocity?

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, whereas velocity is a vector quantity that refers to both the speed and direction of an object's motion. Speed is the magnitude of velocity.


Is a car's speedometer show instantaneous speed average speed or velocity?

A car's speedometer typically shows the instantaneous speed, which represents the current speed of the vehicle at any given moment. It does not show average speed or velocity.


Does a car's speedometer show an instantaneous speed average speed or velocity?

A car's speedometer typically shows the instantaneous speed, which is the speed at a specific moment in time. It does not show average speed or velocity, which would involve calculations over a longer period of time.


Does the reading of a speedo meter of a car show the speed or velocity of a car?

The reading of a speedometer in a car shows the speed of the car, not the velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes the speed and the direction of motion.


Does a car's speedometer show instantaneous speedaverage speedand velocity?

A car's speedometer typically shows the instantaneous speed, which is the speed at a specific moment in time. It does not typically show average speed, which can be calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken. Velocity, on the other hand, includes both the speed and the direction of motion.

Why does an object moving at a constant speed of 35 mi hr Does not show a change in velocity?

constant speed means no acceleration and thus no change in velocity


What must a displacement always show?

Direction and speed which is also velocity.


What is the difference between tuners and exotics?

exoctics are made for speed and tuners are made for show and are easer to handel


What is the difference between speed time and velocity time graphs?

This is a really good question. Speed and velocity are similar. Velocity is just speed, but a direction is included. Say you are driving a car. Driving forward is positive velocity, while driving backwards is negative velocity. Speed is what a radar gun would show about the car either way, because it can't tell if the car is moving forward or backward. Therefore, you can have negative velocity, but there is no such thing as negative speed. A speed graph will always stay positive, while a velocity graph can go negative at some places, though it doesn't have to. HOPE THIS HELPS!!! Addendum: Only in ONE-dimensional motion can "Velocity vs Time" graphs be truly drawn; as only in this dimension can direction be indicated by +/- sign. In 2-D and 3-D motion, the graph equivalent must be "Speed vs Time" because these graphs do not indicate direction.
