The velocity of a car includes both its speed and its direction of motion, while speed is simply the magnitude of the velocity without considering direction. Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction, whereas speed is a scalar quantity, only representing the magnitude of motion.

What happens to speed and velocity when a car turns but maintains the same speed?
When a car turns but maintains the same speed, the velocity of the car changes because velocity includes both speed and direction. The speed of the car stays the same, but the direction of the velocity changes as the car turns.
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.
If a car is traveling at a constant speed but is going around a curve what can you say about the cars motion?
The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.
Why is the speed of a car a magnitude of its velocity?
Speed is a scalar quantity that represents the magnitude of velocity, which is a vector quantity. Velocity includes both the speed and direction of an object's motion. Consequently, when discussing the speed of a car, we are only concerned with the magnitude of its velocity, not its direction.
Does the reading of the speedometer of a car show the speed or velocity of the car?
The speed of the car. The speed-o-meter only shows a magnitude ( or a number ) and to tell the velocity of a car it would have to give that speed some direction. Since the speedometer assigns no direction to the car, the number assigned as the speed of the car cannot be the velocity of the car.
What makes velocity different from speed?
Velocity includes direction. For example, "the car is driving 100 km/h" refers to speed, whereas, "the car is driving 100 km/h [North]" is velocity

When a car turns but maintains the same speed, the velocity of the car changes because velocity includes both speed and direction. The speed of the car stays the same, but the direction of the velocity changes as the car turns.
Are speed and velocity different?
SPEED has the speed only; while VELOCITY has the direction and the speed.

If car travelling in a large circle passes by a motorcycle that is travelling in a straight line from North to South Both of their speedometers read 10 m s Which statement below is true?
You didn't give me any statements. A. The car and the motorcycle have the same speed, but different velocities. B. The car and the motorcycle have the same velocity, but different speeds. C. The car and the motorcycle have the same speed and velocity. D. The car and motorcycle have different speed and different velocity. Please help me out! Reno/Yes those are the statements.

Can two object's have same speed but different velocity?
=== === Since momentum is a vector and not a scalar quantity, to have the same momentum, they must have the same direction. Remember, vectors have magnitude and direction. Speed is the magnitude part of velocity. Since momentum is the product of mass (a scalar) and velocity (a vector) if two objects are moving in different directions, even if they have the same mass and speed, their momentums are different.
How is velocity different from average speeed?
Velocity is speed and its direction. Average velocity is average speed and its direction.
How do you find the velocity form the speed of a car?
Velocity means speed and direction. So if you know the speed, all you need to add is the direction of motion and you will have the velocity.
Can a car move with changing velocity while maintaining constant speed?
No, if a car is changing velocity, it is not maintaining a constant speed. Velocity includes both the speed and direction of an object's motion, so any change in velocity would involve a change in speed, direction, or both.
