Acceleration changes the speed - usually increases it. A reduction is speed is negative acceleration , or deceleration.

Acceleration can change the speed or direction (or both) of velocity.

Why a change in speed of the rover might not effect its velocity?

Either a change in speed or direction, or both, will affect its velocity. If there is a change in speed, then the rover's velocity has changed.


Does friction affect speed or velocity?

Speed is a scalar (non-directional) representation of velocity. Friction affects the magnitude of both and the direction of velocity.


What factors could affect the velocity of a moving object but not the speed?

How speed increase with velocity?

Velocity is a vector which incorporates both speed (a scalar) and direction. So the speed (distance divided by time) must increase if the velocity increases as the direction (an angular measurement) does not affect the absolute value of the vector.


How does distance and time affect the speed?

if the time is invcreasing the velocity increases too and depends on the distance to reach a high speed.


Does the color of a laser affect the velocity of a light wave projected by the laser?

Colors are determined by the wavelengths but all wavelengths travel at the same speed. So no, colors do not affect the velocity of light.


Does gravity or force affect the way a basketball goes in a hoop?

Everything the basketball does after it leaves the hand is the result of the forces acting on it and its velocity achieved from the hands launching it. The force that acts on the basketball is the force of gravity.


What is the biggest difference between speed and velocity?
