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.
Are speed and acceleration the same?
No. Speed is the magnitude of velocity and acceleration is the change of velocity in time.
Why is velocity and speed same unit?
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.
Do two skaters traveling in different directions at the same speed have the same velocity?
No. Velocity is the combination of a speed and its direction. In order fortwo objects to have the same velocity, they must be moving at the samespeed, and in the same direction.
Two bicycle riders have the same speed so do they have the same velocity please explain?
Not necessarily. Velocity is made up of speed and direction, so if they go in different directions, their velocity won't be the same.
