Question

distinguished between 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.
