In common usage Velocity and Speed are used interchangeably. However, velocity has a specific meaning in the scientific sense.
speed is the rate at which you are moving.
velocity is the rate at which you are moving in a specific direction.
So if two space ships are heading away from the sun in different directions, but with the same speed, these spaceships are said to have a different velocity.
Related to velocity is acceleration. Again in common usage it is how fast you are speeding up or slowing down. In science it has a similar meaning but it is the rate of change of velocity.
In other words, you can experience acceleration simply by changing you direction of travel, even if you keep the speed constant.
What else can I help you with?
Can your speed and velocity ever have the same magnitude?
Speed and velocity always have the same magnitude, becausespeed is the magnitude of velocity.The difference is that velocity has a direction but speed doesn't
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.
When the velocity of a moving object stays the same it has a what speed?
When the velocity of a moving object stays the same, it has a constant speed.
What is one example of velocity?
One example of Velocity is that if you are running in the same direction, your speed and velocity is the same. But if you are running AROUND the track, your speed is the same but your velocity is changing.
Does velocity stay the same when speed and direction stay the same?
Yes, velocity remains the same when both speed and direction remain constant. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, so as long as both are unchanged, the velocity will remain constant.
What is the diffrerence between speed and velocity?
Velocity is speed plus its direction. -- "30 mph" is a speed. -- "30 mph north" is a velocity. -- "30 mph east" and "30 mph south" are the same speed but different velocities.
How is speed and velocity the same?
No, they are not the same! Velocity involves the speed and the direction of the moving object...
What kind of speed does a moving object have when the velocity stays the same?
same speed , coz velocity is constant velocity consists of speed and direction...
Does average velocity and average speed have the same number?
velocity is a vector and speed is scalar. Velocity has magnitude and directions, with magnitude being speed. The magnitude of average velocity and average speed is the same.
Are Speed and velocity the same thing?
No. Speed has no direction. Velocity is speed anddirection.
Can your speed and velocity ever have the same magnitude?
Speed and velocity always have the same magnitude, becausespeed is the magnitude of velocity.The difference is that velocity has a direction but speed doesn't
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.
Explain the difference between velocity and speed?
Velocity includes both speed (magnitude of the velocity) and direction, while speed is just the magnitude of the velocity without any indication of direction. So velocity is a vector quantity, whereas speed is a scalar quantity.
What is the speed velocity of a body?
In common speech, velocity means speed, they are the same thing.
Are speed and acceleration the same?
No. Speed is the magnitude of velocity and acceleration is the change of velocity in time.
What is difference between an object moving with uniform acceleration and an object moving with a constant velocity?
A motion with a constant speed will always be moving the same speed A motion with a constant acceleration will constantly be gaining speed, and does not remain moving at the same speed.
What is an example of the difference between speed and velocity?
Speed is what it is: speed. Velocity is speed in a given direction, a vector quantity.
