Take a train going west at 100 miles per hour and another train going south at the same speed. Their velocities are different because velocity is a vector quantity that gives both speed and direction. Since they are going in different directions they have different velocities.

What are non examples for velocity?
non-examples are like just like going straight in the road.
What are both examples of vector quantities?
Velocity, acceleration/speed
Give two examples of vector quantities?
Velocity, acceleration, displacement, there are a lot.
What is the difference between vector and scalor quantity?
Vectors include information about their direction, and are incomplete without it. Examples are displacement, velocity, acceleration, momentum, magnetic field. (Velocity is speed with direction.) Scalars are complete without stating any direction. Examples are temperature, cost, mass, speed. (Speed is velocity without direction.)
Is distance the magnitude of velocity?
Remember that velocity is a vector quantity which means it needs two criteria to be defined; a magnitude, and a direction. When we discuss the magnitude of velocity, what we are talking about is the speed (30m/s, 45mph, etc). Those examples are examples of speed; it is only when we add a direction that it becomes 'velocity'. So, the difference is: "25m/s" is a speed, but "25m/s east" is a velocity. Speed (the magnitude of velocity) is calculated by taking the total displacement divided by the total time. Speed=(distance travelled)/(time it takes). Hope this helps

What is momentum and its examples?
momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Velocity, acceleration/speed
How is velocity figured?
Velocity is distance per unit time. Examples: miles per hour, feet per second
Give examples of derived quantities?
work,velocity,force and acceleration
Can there be a body moving with constant acceleration but zero velocity. With examples?
since accelaration is the change in velocity of an object per unit time......if velocity is zero then there is no acceleration.its nt possible
Why do take derivative?
To find rate of change. Two common examples are: rate of change in position = velocity and rate of change of velocity = acceleration.

Displacement and velocity are examples of what?
In math and physics, displacement and velocity are examples of vectors. The definition of a vector is that it is quantity that has both direction and magnitude. A vector is represented by an arrow that shows the direction of the quantity and a length which is the magnitude.
