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 is meters per second (m/s). Speed is a scalar quantity that represents how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.


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 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


What is the standard units of velocity?

The standard unit of velocity is meters per second (m/s).


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.


Is it true that Velocity is the speed of the wave?

Velocity is not the same as speed. While speed measures the distance traveled per unit of time, velocity includes the direction of movement. In the context of waves, velocity refers to the speed of the wave along with the direction in which it is traveling.


Is the unit of speed a basic unit or a derived unit?

It is a derived unit. It measure distance traveled per unit of time. For example meter per second or m/s. Speed or velocity as it is sometimes called is derived from the units for distance and time.


What is the unit for acceleration speed and velocity?

Is feet per second the same thing as velocity?

Feet per second is a unit of velocity, but not necessarily the same thing. Velocity could be in meters per hour or feet per second could be a measure of speed, which does not take direction into account, as velocity does.
