Speed

  • Definition:- The rate at which an object covers a certain distance is known as speed.
  • Type of quantity:- Scalar quantity
  • Magnitude:- Speed can never be negative or zero.
  • Change of direction:- The average speed will continue to count even if the object changes direction.
  • Unit(SI):- Speed is measured in m/s
  • Interrelation:- Speed may or may not be equal to velocity.
  • Examples:- A sports bike travelling at 50 m/s would go from 0 m/s to 30 m/s, before reaching 50 m/s and could even reach 70 m/s. However, the average speed will be the speed of the bike.

Velocity

  • Definition:- Velocity can be defined as the rate at which an object changes position in a certain direction.
  • Type of quantity:- Vector quantity
  • Magnitude:- Velocity can be zero, negative, or positive.
  • Change of direction:- The velocity of the object changes with the change in direction, therefore the object must follow one direction.
  • Unit(SI):- Velocity is measured in m/s
  • Interrelation:- An object may possess different velocities but the same speed.
  • Examples:- A train going towards the south direction with an average speed of 50 km/h will have a velocity of 50 km/h, north. An object going straight in a particular direction is considered to have velocity.
