Question

what is difference between speed and velocity​

Answer 1

velocity is the speed with direction , while speed does not have direction . Speed is a scaler quantity - it is the magnitude of velocity .speed is measured in unit of distance divided by time .(e.g., meals per hour ,feet per second ,metre per second .)

hope it helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

Sl. No. Differentiating Property Velocity Speed

1 Definition  

Velocity can be defined as the rate at which an object changes position in a certain direction.

The rate at which an object covers a certain distance is known as speed.

2 Type of quantity  

Vector quantity

Scalar quantity

3 Magnitude  

Velocity can be zero, negative, or positive.

Speed can never be negative or zero.

4 Change of direction  

The velocity of the object changes with the change in direction, therefore the object must follow one direction.

The average speed will continue to count even if the object change direction.

5 Interrelation  

An object may possess different velocities but the same speed.

Speed may or may not be equal to velocity.

6 Unit (SI)  

Velocity is measured in m/s

Speed is measured in m/s

7 Equation  

= ∆x/∆t; where is the average velocity, ‘∆t’ is the time of arrival and ‘∆x’ is the displacement.

v = d/t; where ‘v’ is the average speed, ‘t’ is time taken to travel the distance and ‘d’ is the distance travelled.

8 Example  

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.

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.
