Velocity is speed, plus an indication of direction. To indicate a velocity, you can indicate a speed (this will logically use units of speed), and a direction.

What is the SI unit for speed and velocity?

The SI unit for speed and velocity are the same: meter per second (m/s)


Are the units for velocity?

A unit of speed is (any unit of length) divided by (any unit of time). A unit of velocity is any unit of speed, along with a direction.


What is units for wave speed?

The same unit meant for velocity ie m/s.


What is the differnece between speed acceleration and velocity?

Velocity is the change in displacement in a unit time in a specific direction. Speed is the magnitude of velocity and has no direction. Acceleration is the change in velocity in a unit time.


What is the wavelength if velocity is 50 and frequency is 25?

It's 2, with same length-unit as the one in the speed


How is speed and velocity the same?

No, they are not the same! Velocity involves the speed and the direction of the moving object...


What kind of speed does a moving object have when the velocity stays the same?

same speed , coz velocity is constant velocity consists of speed and direction...


What is the standard units of velocity?

Velocity is speed and its direction. The units of velocity are any unit of speed and any means of indicating a direction.


Does average velocity and average speed have the same number?

velocity is a vector and speed is scalar. Velocity has magnitude and directions, with magnitude being speed. The magnitude of average velocity and average speed is the same.


What is one example of velocity?

One example of Velocity is that if you are running in the same direction, your speed and velocity is the same. But if you are running AROUND the track, your speed is the same but your velocity is changing.


How is velocity same from instantaneous speed?

Instantaneous speed is the magnitude of the velocity. Velocity also states the [direction] of the speed.


Could speed or velocity exist without time?

Speed is scalar quantity where as velocity is vector quantity. Unit is same as distance by time i.e. meter per second, kilometer per hour. Hence, either speed or velocity does not exist without time.
