What is the diffrence bitween speed and velocity . diffrence bitween distance and displacement .
Answers
The short answer is that velocity is the speed with a direction, while speed does not have a direction.
Speed is a scalar quantity -- it is the magnitude of the velocity. Speed is measured in units of distance divided by time, e.g. miles per hour, feet per second, meters per second, etc....
Velocity is a vector quantity -- when giving the velocity we must specify the magnitude (the speed) and the direction of travel. For example you might drive 100km/hr (the speed) in a northerly direction.
This is analogous to the difference between distance (a scalar quantity) and displacement (the distance with direction.)
Distance is the measure of area which is between two points which is the point of origin or the starting point and ending point of a location.
1. Displacement is actually the distance a person is away from its actual point or the starting point.
2. Distance is a scalar quantity
2.Displacement is a vector quantity
3. Distance is just the magnitude of the interval.
3. Displacement is shortest interval connecting the initial and final points
4. displacement is denoted by s
4. distance is denoted by d
5.distance formula: speed*time
5.Displacement formula: s=vt
6. Distance is proportional to speed and time
6. displacement is associated with velocity of object
