Answer:
ur answer now plz mark me as brainleist
Explanation:
Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. ... On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes. The average velocity is the displacement or position change (a vector quantity) per time ratio.
Answer:
Differences between velocity and speed
SPEED - IT is the total distance covered in a unit time.
• It is scalar quantity i.e it need only magnitude to specify it.
• Speed = Distance/time
• It can not be negative or zero.
• Speed is always greater than velocity
VELOCITY - IT is the total distance covered in a unit time in a given direction
• It is vector quantity .ie it needs magnitude as well as direction to specify it.
• Velocity = Displacement/time
• It can be negative or zero.
• Velocity is always smaller than speed.
MORE TO KNOW -
• Rate of change of velocity is called Acceleration.
• S.i unit of some terms
i) Distance - m
ii) Displacement - m
iii) Speed- m/s
iv) Velocity- m/s
v) Acceleration- m/s^2
• Velocity can be changed by given ways-
i) Either the speed changes.
ii) Or the direction changes.
iii) both changes.
Some representations
v= final velocity
u= initial velocity
acc= acceleration
t= time
s= Distance/ displacement
