'Velocity' should be compared with 'speed', and it should be understood that

they're different.

"30 miles per hour" is a speed.

"30 miles per hour toward the south" is a velocity.

When compared to others how is a greater velocity represented on a motion map?

A greater velocity would be represented on a motion map by longer vectors or arrows, indicating the speed and direction of the object's movement. The longer the vector, the greater the velocity of the object compared to others on the same map.

The factor that has the greatest effect on kinetic energy is?

The velocity of the object. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to an object's mass and the square of its velocity. Therefore, changes in velocity have a larger impact on kinetic energy compared to changes in mass.


Does high velocity affect rate of change of velocity?

Yes, high velocity can affect the rate of change of velocity. If an object is already moving at a high velocity, it may require more time or force to change its velocity compared to an object moving at a lower velocity due to inertia.


Compared to the velocity of radio waves the velocity of visible light waves is?

The velocity of visible light waves is the same as the velocity of radio waves in a vacuum, both traveling at the speed of light (approximately 299,792 kilometers per second).


If the final velocity will be less than initial velocity the object is increasing speed or decreasing speed?

If the final velocity is less than the initial velocity, the object is decreasing speed. The object has slowed down or its speed has decreased compared to when it started.


Can a particle in one dimensional motion have less speed than velocity?

Speed and velocity cannot be compared because they are different things. It is like saying "apples > oranges". Velocity is a vector and, as such, it has a direction and a size. The size of the vector velocity is it's speed.To answer your question: no because they can't be compared. And if you wanted to ask if the size of the velocity vector being smaller than the speed... no... that is the definition of speed... so it cannot be different, regardless of the number of dimensions you are using.


What are difference between speed and velocity?

Speed is a scalar quantity that reflects how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. Speed is the magnitude of velocity. Velocity provides a more comprehensive description of an object's motion compared to speed.
