speed ☺️

  • To help evaluate the difference between speed and velocity, we need to understand their definition.
  • Speed is the amount of distance an object covers over a specific period of time, irrespective of the direction it is travelling in
  • . Thus, lack of directional component means it is a scalar quantity.
  • In order to calculate the average speed, take the total distance travelled and divide it by the total time needed to travel that distance.

velocity ☺️

  • As we discussed before that speed is a scalar quantity thus it’s got a corresponding vector quantity which combines how fast the object travels and its direction.
  • So, this vector quantity refers to as velocity. In other words, we define it as the rate at which the object is changing its position.
  • It is important to note that a change in position from its starting point to its endpoint is its displacement.
  • What matters here is the direct distance from the starting point to the finish point and not the precise route. So, to find out the average velocity, you need to multiply displacement by time.

Make me brainlist plz

HOpe it helps you ✌️
