Question

Definition of speed and velocity with examples in simple language

Answer 1

speed is defined as distance travelled in per unit time.

example: a car is moving at a speed of 5m/second.

It is scalar quantity.

velocity is defined as speed in a given direction.

example: A car moving in a circular path with velocity of 10m/second in the East direction.

It is a vector quantity

Answer 2

Answer:

speed: it is the distance per unit time. or something that can be completely explained by its magnitude only

speed=distance/ time

example:a man run with the speed of 5 m/s

velocity:it is the speed with direction. or something that can't be completely explained by its magnitude only.

velocity=displacement/ time

example: a man with a velocity of 5m/s in east direction
