Question

Which of the following BEST describes the difference between speed and velocity?

Answer 1

Hey mate here is your answer:-

Speed=

1. Speed refers to the distance covered by an object in unit time.

2. It determines how fast something is moving?

3. Scalar quantity

4. It indicates the rapidity of the object.

5. Calculates the rate of change of distance

Velocity=

1. Velocity refers to the displacement of the object in unit time.

2. It determines in which direction something is moving?

3. Vector quantity

4. It indicates the rapidity and position of the object.

5. Calculates the rate of change of displacement.

Answer 2

Answer:

SPEED:

• Speed is the rate at which an object travels a given distance.
• It is a scalar quantity
• Speed can never be negative or zero.
• The average speed will continue to count even if the object changes direction.
• Speed may or may not be equal to velocity.
• Speed is measured in m/s.

VELOCITY:

• Velocity is defined as the rate at which an object changes position in a specific direction. 
• It is a  vector quantity
• Velocity can be negative, positive, or zero.
• Because the velocity of the object changes with direction, the object must only move in one direction.
• An object may have multiple velocities but the same speed.
• The velocity is measured in metres per second.
