what is speed and velocity?
Answers
Answer:
Speed
- The distance traveled by a body followed by the distance is known as speed
- It has a magnitude
- It is a vector quantity
- It's units are meter/sec and km/hr
Velocity
- The distance traveled by a body followed by the displacement is know Velocity
- The magnitude may be zero.
- It is a scalar quantity.
- It's units are meter/sec and km/hr.
Hope it helps you, if does please give some rating it may be 1 or 5

Speed is defined as the total distance covered in an interval of time. Often denoted by the letter "v". It cannot be negative.
Formula for calculating speed is, speed=
To calculate average speed, divide the total distance by total time taken.
When speed is defined with a direction it is called velocity. Unlike speed, velocity can be negative. Like speed, it is often denoted by the letter "v".
Velocity=
Average velocity for an accelerating object is given by:
where, v is the final velocity of the object, u is the initial velocity of the object and t is the time taken.
