Does a speedmeter give instantaneous speed or velocity?
Velocity is a vector quantity, so a different direction makes a different velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity, where direction makes no difference. Since a speedometer reads the same regardless of direction of motion, it is providing speed, not velocity.
What is the different between constant velocity and constant speed?
constant velocity is when you maintain speed and direction, this usually is in a straight line, and constant speed means that your speed is always constant at all times.
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.
How do you find speed if you know the velocity?
Velocity is speed and direction
