what is the similarities between speed and velocity
Answers
Answer:

Velocity is a vector quantity and has both magnitude and direction. Speed and velocity both represent a way to measure the change in position of an object relative to time. In fact, for a straight line motion, the speed and velocity of an object are the same (since distance and displacement will be the same).

★ Speed :-
Speed of a body is the distance travelled by the body per unit time.
Speed is donated by v. The distance travelled in an interval of time t is denoted by s ( or x)
Therefore, we may write
The S. I. unit of speed is m/s ( or m s¯¹ & C. G. S. unit cm/s or ( or cm s¯¹). Another unit of speed is km/h or km h¯¹.
★ Changing the unit :-
★ Velocity :-
As speed is related to distance so is velocity to displacement.
Velocity of a body is the displacement of a body per unit time.
Since displacement is associated with direction, Velocity is also associated with direction.
The direction of velocity is m s¯¹ & in C. G. S. system is cm s¯¹. Other units of velocity are kmh¯¹, km, min¯¹ etc.
When the velocity of a body is not constant, then we find the average velocity for the given time interval.
If a body covers equal displacements in equal intervals of time, howsoever small the time interval may be, the body is said to have uniform velocity.
★Note :
For a body to move with the uniform velocity, it's direction should remain the same . This means that the body should travel in a straight line and it should not reverse it direction of motion . Also the magnitude of velocity should remain constant. In such a case since distance = displacement, we can use the word speed also for referring to the magnitude of velocity .
If a body is not moving with constant velocity , then it is said to have a variable velocity or non- uniform velocity.
★ Note :-
a) Its magnitude changes but direction remains the same.
e.g., a train coming to halt on a straight track.
b) Its magnitude does not change but the direction of motion changes.
e.g., when a car takes a turn with its speed remaining constant.
c) Its the magnitude as well as the direction of motion changes .
