What are the different types of speeds and
velocity? Explain
Answers
Answer:
Variable speed: A object is said to be in variable speed when the object covers a different distance at equal intervals of times. Average speed: Average speed is defined as the uniform speed which is given by the ratio of total distance traveled by an object to the total time taken by the object.
Explanation:
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. Speed is ignorant of direction. On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware.
There are four types of speed and they are:
Uniform speed.
Variable speed.
Average speed.
Instantaneous speed.
There are four types of velocity and they are :
Constant Velocity
Changing Velocity
Instant Velocity
Terminal Velocity
