Velocity is measured as a unit of distance over time as in miles/hour (miles per hour). feet/second, kilometers/hour. It is the same as a measurement of speed except that there is also a direction component as in north or southwest. If you change the direction travel but maintain the same speed, it is still a change in velocity even though it is not a change in speed..

What is a synonym for velocity?

There is no synonym to velocity. there is no directionality in velocity. speed is a measure of rotation around a center expressed in revolutions per unit of time. Velocity is a measure of distance in units of time with no direction. Vectors indicate direction.


How do you convert velocity and mass to foot pounds?

You don't. The units are unrelated - they measure different things.


Why the units of velocity and speed are same?

because they measure different aspects of the same thing, velocity also has direction but speed lacks direction. otherwise they are the same.


How are speed and velocity different what the unis used?

Velocity is the measure of speed in a given direction. Although the SI measurement units for both are metres per second, there must be an explicit or implied direction for velocity.


Which units are used to measure both velocity and speed?

Both velocity and speed are measured using units of distance per unit time, such as meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).


What is The base units of measure that make momentum include?

The base units of measure that make momentum include kilogram (kg) for mass and meters per second (m/s) for velocity. Momentum is calculated by multiplying mass and velocity, and its unit of measure is kilogram meters per second (kg⋅m/s).


What are the dimensions of angular velocity in terms of its physical units?

Angular velocity is a measure of how quickly an object rotates around a fixed point. Its dimensions are typically expressed in units of radians per second (rad/s) or degrees per second (/s).


How do you convert acceleration units to velocity units?

To convert acceleration to velocity, you must integrate.Similarly, to convert velocity to distance, you must integrate a second time. This is why the distance covered by a projectile is a second order quadratic equation.


What are units for velocity squared?

The SI unit for velocity is m/s. Therefore the SI units for velocity squared would be m2/s2.


What is the measure of an object's mass and velocity called?

The measure of an object's mass is called mass, and the measure of its velocity is called velocity.


What is a measure of how far an objects has moved from a starting point?

A change in the position of an object is called a displacement. Velocity is the measure of the rate of change of displacement with respect to time.


How do units for speed and velocity compare?

The units are the same (metres per second) except that the velocity also has the direction of motion associated with it.
