Velocity= Distance/time or V=D/T. there is a triangle to help remember this
D
-----
V | T
permutations: V=D/T D=V X T T=D/V

∙ 12y agoVelocity is speed with a direction vector. Speed is distance per unit time without
any specification regarding direction. Velocity is speed plus a direction
component. The particulars might become easier to see when considering a
problem like what is happening when a shuttle is in orbit. (Gravity on the
orbiting shuttle and its crew is something like 85% of what it is on the earth's
surface, but the vehicle and the astronauts are weightless. What's up with
that?)

Is velocity the speed of a wave?
Velocity and speed are not synonyms.
When is speed equal to the magnitude of velocity?
That is the case when you are talking about instantaneous speed and velocity - or when the velocity is constant. In the case of an average speed and velocity, this relation does not hold.
What Has Direction Speed or Velocity?
Velocity.
Is constant speed constant velocity?
No. Velocity includes a direction vector, which speed does not have.
How can a vehicle at the same time have a constant speed but changing velocity?
Speed is a scalar quantity (direction does not matter) and velocity is a vector quantity) ie velocity means speed in a specific direction. If you are changing direction (turning) in a car, your speed is the same, while your velocity changes.
Is true that absolute value of speed equals velocity?
No, you've got it backwards. The absolute value of velocity equals speed. Velocity is speed with a direction; speed is just a number, without regard to direction.
When Velocity of particle equals average velocity equals instantaneous equals speed is possible?
When the length of the time is decreased more and more ,average velocity of the particles equals instantaneous velocity.
Why is the absolute value of velocity speed?
It's a scrambled equation. What you meant to say is, "The absolute value of velocity equals speed."
Is it true or false that absolute value of speed equals velocity?
no
Relate speed to distance and time?
distance over time equals the speed/velocity.
What is speed times time?
Speed times time equals distance
How do you find the speed of a projectile?
To find the average velocity of a projectile, use V = D/T (Velocity equals Displacement over Time).
The amount of kinetic energy an object has depends upon what factors?
Kinetic energy equals 1/2 mass times the velocity squared, so mass and velocity (speed)
What is speed of motion?
The average speed of motion is when speed is changing. Speed equals total distance divided by total travel time. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.
State the difference between the speed and velocity?
Speed is a scalar quantity with out direction, velocity is a vector quantity with a direction, The magnitude of a velocity, |V| is its speed. So all velocities have a speed, including a speed of zero.
What Speed with distance is called?
speed divided by distance is time; or distance equals speed x time. Not sure of your question, but If speed is associated with direction, then it is called velocity, which is a vector, whereas speed is a scalarquantity
What is the biggest difference between speed and velocity?
velocity is speed with direction; velocity is a vector and speed is a scalar
