No. The speed is the same, the velocity is not. The term "velocity" includes the indication of the direction. Two velocities are the same if they have the same magnitude (e.g., both are 40 km/hour), AND the same direction.

A car is traveling south at a speed of 70 miles per hour and then begins traveling at a speed of 71 miles per hour but continues traveling in the same direction What has changed?

Speed and velocity have both changed.


A car is traveling south at a speed of 68 miles per hour and then begins traveling at a speed of 69 miles per hour but continues traveling in the same direction What has changed?

What is an objects velocity?

An object's velocity is it's speed plus direction. example: 55mph south Hope this helps:)


What is the difference between the unit the speed and velocity?

Velocity tells the speed AND what direction it's in. -- "30 miles per hour" is a speed. -- "30 miles per hour north" is a velocity. -- "30 miles per hour east" and "30 miles per hour south" are the same speed but different velocities.


An object traveling in a circle is accelerating because it is constantly changing?

An object traveling in circular motion is constantly changing because its 'direction' is constantly changing due to the circular motion. The speed may be unchanging say, 5 miles per hour but the direction may be going form East to North to West to South and then back to East, say in counter clockwise motion.


If your velocity is 35 you turn south slow down 20 what will be your new velocity?

15 miles per hour,south


What is speed and how is speed different from velocity?

Velocity is speed plus direction. If you say you are traveling at 54 miles per hour, you are giving your speed. If you say you are going north at 54 miles per hour, you are giving your velocity.


When you speak of a car traveling at 65 miles per hour you are specifying that cars?

Speed. (NOT velocity.)
