Question

Distinguish between speed and velocity in pionts

Answer 1

$\huge\text{\underline{Answer}}$

$\sf{\underline{Step by step explanation}}$

$\boxed{\sf{Velocity Vs Speed}}$

• Velocity :- The rate of change of displacement is called velocity.
• Speed :- The rate of change of distance is called speed.

• Velocity is a vector quantity.
• Speed is a scalar quantity.

• Velocity may be negative,positive or zero.
• Speed can never be zero.

• Velocity is calculated by using formula.

$\boxed{\sf{ V = u + at}}$

$\boxed{\sf{v = \frac{s}{t} }}$

where s is displacement.

• Speed is calculated by using formula.

$\boxed{\sf{V = \frac{s}{t} }}$

where s is distance.

• The slope of displacement and time gives Velocity.
• The slope of distance and time gives Speed.

Answer 2

Distinguish between speed and velocity in pionts

Speed

• 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.

Velocity

• On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware.
• Velocity is the rate at which the position changes.
