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.
The main difference between speed and velocity?
The main difference between speed and velocity involves direction. Velocity involves an object moving in a particular direction.
Why is velocity a vector quantity?
Velocity refers to both speed and direction. A vector refers to both magnitude (the speed in this case) and a direction. Speed without reference to a direction is a scalar, a magnitude without direction.
What is he difference between speed and velocity?
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/The_difference_of_speed_and_velocity" The difference between speed and velocity is that speed is a scalar quantity(that have only magnitude) and velocity is a vector quantity(that have both magnitude and direction).
What is speed in a given direction is called?
Speed in a given direction is velocity.
What is speed in a given direction?
Speed in a given direction is called velocity.
Velocity describes both?
speed and direction
How is velocity different from average speeed?
Velocity is speed and its direction. Average velocity is average speed and its direction.
Diffetiate speed and velocity?
Speed has no direction, velocity does.
The speed of an object and the direction of its motion?
the object's 'velocity'
What is speed in given direction?
The amount of speed in a given direction is the 'component' of speed in that direction. The total amount of speed AND the direction of the total speed is the 'velocity' of the moving object.
Is speed equal to velocity?
Velocity is a vector, which means it has a direction, but speed isn't. Speed is the absolute value of velocity. Velocity can be negative, meaning that the speed is opposite to the direction that you're calling the positive direction.
What describes the direction and speed of an object?
Velocity describes the speed and direction of an object.velocityvelocity
What describes both speed and direction?
Velocity describes both the speed and direction an object is moving.
Velocity is the change of speed and direction of an object?
No. Velocity is the present speed and direction of motion.If speed or direction changes, then that's 'acceleration'.
How do you distinguish velocity from speed?
Velocity tells you the speed and the direction it's going. Speed only tells you the speed, with no direction.
