Best Answer

You have 3 categories: speed, both, and velocity.

under speed:

  • is not a vector
  • describes a rate

under both:

  • describes how fast an object moves
  • includes time
  • includes distance*

under velocity:

  • includes direction
  • is a vector

*Speed is actually DISTANCE over time, while velocity is DISPLACEMENT over time. Just clarifying, because it might cause more confusion although displacement is essentially still a measurement of distance but is still quite different.

Edit: Also, the original answer was not written by me, I only edited where the asterix is indicated and I'm not sure how the original author's credit has disappeared.

If velocity dSdt and speed dSdt then what happened when a body move in a complete circle were dS0 then velocity?

Velocity is a vector, meaning it has a direction, like east, north, up. Speed isa magnitude without direction, 60 miles per hour is a speed; 60 miles per hour north is a velocity. When a care is going 60 mph in a circle the speed is constant but the velocity changes as the direction changes. The magnitude of the velocity is the same but the direction changes thus the velocity changes. Velocity changes if either the speed/magnitude or the direction change.


What does a venn diagram look like for velocity acceleration average speed speed inertia momentum?

Look it up on Google! This website is not an answer book. People are so lazy... So are you...it is called Answers.com right?!??!


What is different between speed and velocity?

speed is scalar while velocity is a vector. In other words, velocity is to do with direction also. Speed does not show direction.


What factor is the difference between speed and velocity?

Speed is exactly like velocity, except velocity has a fixed direction. So speed would be 50mph, whereas velocity would be 50mph NE


How is speed different than velocity?

Speed does not have the direction associated with it, like velocity does.


Can a velocity of a body change its speed is constant?

No. A body with constant velocity is either stationary or going at constant speed in a constant direction. The usual interpretation of speed and velocity goes like this. A velocity is a vector with magnitude and direction. The magnitude is usually called its speed. Changing a speed must change the length of the vector and changing the length of the velocity vector has to change the velocity.


Can speed of a body change if its velocity is constant?

No. A body with constant velocity is either stationary or going at constant speed in a constant direction. The usual interpretation of speed and velocity goes like this. A velocity is a vector with magnitude and direction. The magnitude is usually called its speed. Changing a speed must change the length of the vector and changing the length of the velocity vector has to change the velocity.


Is it possible in straight line motion particle have 0 speed and a non-zero velocity .explain?

Sounds like a trick question. The answer is no. Speed is a scalar with magnitude only and velocity is a vector with magnitude (speed) and direction. So If traveling with velocity in a straight line it has speed..


What is steady velocity?

Steady velocity means keeping the same speed. Like in "between the stations, the train maintained a steady velocity".


Moving at constant velocity is also moving with constant speed?

Velocity is Speed in a given direction. Moving at constant velocity is equivalent to say moving with a constant speed in a specified direction. So, moving at constant velocity implicitly means moving with constant speed.


Is the magnitude of instantaneous velocity always equal to the instantaneous speed?

Because speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector. The velocity consists of the speed and the direction, and the whole thing can be embodied in a 3D vector. If you like the velocity is the magnitude (the speed), which is a scalar (just a real number), multiplied by a unit vector in the right direction.


Can an object have a varying speed it its velocity is constant?

Of course, since velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity, velocity has something speed does not: direction. Thus, an object can travel at the same speed by has a changing direction of movement, and therefore a changing velocity. For instance, a ball on a string moving in a circle at the same speed is constantly changing its velocity, which results in its path of motion.Yes. Velocity is (speed and direction of motion). If direction changes, then velocitychanges, even if speed is constant.Examples:-- Car going around a curve at a constant speed has changing velocity.-- Anything traveling a circular path at a constant speed has changing velocity.
