Question

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.

Answer 2

Explanation:

SPEED:

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

ii) Speed = distance travelled

time taken

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 = displacement

time taken

iii) Velocity is a vector quantity.

iv) Velocity can be negative.
