Question

7
Differentiate between the term "Speed" and "Velocity"?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. ... On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Speed :

  (i) Speed is defined as the distance travelled by the body per unit time

  (ii) Speed = timetakendistancetravelled

  (iii) Speed is always positive

Velocity : 

  (i) Velocity of a moving body is defined as is rate of change of its position with time in a particular direction

  (ii) Velocity = timetakendisplacement

  (iii) Velocity is a vector quantity

  (iv) Velocity can be negative
