Speed does not have the direction associated with it, like velocity does.

What does velocity include that makes it different than speed?

direction


Are speed and velocity different?

SPEED has the speed only; while VELOCITY has the direction and the speed.


Is velocity for waves different than speed?

No, velocity refers to the speed of an object in a specific direction. In the context of waves, velocity is the speed at which a wave moves through a medium in a particular direction. So, in the case of waves, velocity and speed refer to the same concept.


How is velocity different from average speeed?

Velocity is speed and its direction. Average velocity is average speed and its direction.


How is velocity different than speed and what are the key distinctions between the two?

Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, while speed is a scalar quantity that only measures how fast an object is moving. The key distinction between velocity and speed is that velocity includes direction, while speed does not.


Is the formula for velocity different than the formula for speed?

The size of the velocity is the speed, and you calculate it the same way. But whenyou find the size of the velocity, you're not done yet, because you also need itsdirection.


Is velocity speed?

As used in physics, the two are different. Speed is a scalar, velocity a vector.


Can a particle in one dimensional motion have less speed than velocity?

Speed and velocity cannot be compared because they are different things. It is like saying "apples > oranges". Velocity is a vector and, as such, it has a direction and a size. The size of the vector velocity is it's speed.To answer your question: no because they can't be compared. And if you wanted to ask if the size of the velocity vector being smaller than the speed... no... that is the definition of speed... so it cannot be different, regardless of the number of dimensions you are using.


What is the rate of change in position or rate of motion?
