No. It's confusing unless you're into physics or mathematics but velocity is a vector quantity with speed is one aspect. Velocity includes speed and the direction of motion. A car is going 60 miles per hour as speed. A car is going 60 MPH due north is velocity.

Is that velocity and speed is same?

No, velocity and speed are not the same. Speed is a scalar quantity representing the rate of change of distance with respect to time, while velocity is a vector quantity representing both the speed and direction of motion.


How does AWD work?

all wheels generate same velocity meaning all drive at same speed


Can two objects have a different speed but same velocity?

No. Speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector. If velocities are the same, their magnitudes are the same, which is another way of saying that the speeds are the same.It can work the other way around, however ... same speed but different velocities, meaning same speed in different directions.


Meaning for velocity?

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...


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.


Can two objects have the same velocity the different speeds?

No. Speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector. If velocities are the same, their magnitudes are the same, which is another way of saying that the speeds are the same.It can work the other way around, however ... same speed but different velocities, meaning same speed in different directions.


Explain the difference between velocity and speed?

Velocity includes both speed (magnitude of the velocity) and direction, while speed is just the magnitude of the velocity without any indication of direction. So velocity is a vector quantity, whereas speed is a scalar quantity.


When does speed becomes velocity?

Speed doesn't "become" velocity. Velocity is simply speed as a vector, meaning that not only the magnitude is specified (as in the speed), but also the direction.


What is the product of velocity and speed?

Except for the fact that velocity has a direction, velocity and speed have the same units; so you would have a speed squared (plus a direction). As far as I know, this has no physical significance - meaning that you won't normally carry out this multiplication.


Are Speed and velocity the same thing?

No. Speed has no direction. Velocity is speed anddirection.
