Question

what is the difference between speed and velocity?​

Answer 1

Answer:

• speed is a scaler quantity ie:it does not depend on direction
• whereas velocity is a vector quantity and therefore depend on direction

Answer 2

Answer:

Speed

Speed is simply the rate of change of motion.

Velocity is direction-aware and it is the rate of change of position of an object.

Speed is the distance traveled by a body in a unit time.

Velocity is the displacement covered by a body in a unit time.

Speed is a scalar quantity

Velocity is a vector quantity.

Speed ascertains how fast a body moves.

Velocity ascertains the object’s speed and the direction it takes while moving.
