Velocity includes the information on what direction the speed is pointing.
60 mph north and 50 mph north are different velocities.
60 mph north and 60 mph west are also different velocities.
Speed doesn't care what direction it's going.
60 mph north and 60 mph west are the same speed.
60 mph 50 mph are different speeds.
Speed is what it is: speed. Velocity is speed in a given direction, a vector quantity.
the object's 'velocity'
The speed of an object moving in a particular direction is called the velocity and it's a vector, that is, it has magnitude and direction. Speed is the scalar part of velocity.
When the object is acted upon by an outside force.
An object's velocity is it's speed plus direction. example: 55mph south Hope this helps:)
The main difference between speed and velocity is that speed is a scalar quantity, representing only magnitude, while velocity is a vector quantity, representing both magnitude and direction. Speed describes how fast an object is moving, while velocity describes the rate of change of an object's position in a particular direction.
The main difference between speed and velocity involves direction. Velocity involves an object moving in a particular direction.
Speed is what it is: speed. Velocity is speed in a given direction, a vector quantity.
Speed is just a number; velocity includes information about the direction. In physical terms, speed is a scalar, whereas velocity is a vector.
Speed is just a number; velocity includes information about the direction. In physical terms, speed is a scalar, whereas velocity is a vector.
Velocity includes direction. And it's the 'difference', not the 'distance'.
Speed is the rate of change in distance, whereas velocity is speed and direction of travel. Acceleration is the change in velocity (including direction).
Speed is exactly like velocity, except velocity has a fixed direction. So speed would be 50mph, whereas velocity would be 50mph NE
Speed and velocity are both measures of how fast an object is moving. The key difference between the two is that velocity includes direction, while speed does not. Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction, while speed is a scalar quantity, only having magnitude.
Velocity is speed with a direction
speed =dist/time velocity=displacement/time difference is that velocity depicts the direction in which a body is moving as displacement is one of it"s attriebutes but speed does not
No, they are not the same! Velocity involves the speed and the direction of the moving object...
