What is the difference between speed and velocity
Answers
❉ Speed of a body is the distance travelled by it in per unit time.
❉ Speed is scalar quantity.
❉ Speed never be negative.
❉ Speed = Distance/time.
❉ For example: The expression 50 Km/hr is speed as it has only magnitude.
❉ Distance travelled by a body per unit time in a given direction.
❉ It is vector quantity.
❉ Velocity can be zero.
❉ Velocity = Displacement / time.
❉ For example : The expression 50 km/hr towards north is velocity as it has both magnitude as well as direction.
Here is your answer =>
Speed :
1) Slow or fast motion of an object is known as Speed. 2) It is scalar quantity.
3)It can never be negative or zero.
4)Speed = distance/ time.
Velocity :
1) The rate of change of is known as Velocity. 2) It is Vector quantity.
3)It can be negative,zero or posituve.
4) Velocity = displacement / time
