How is velocity diffrent from speed?
Velocity is a vector, and so it has two components -- magnitude (speed) and direction. Speed is a scalar, and it is the magnitude of velocity, a vector.
What is the result if you subtract a velocity vector to another velocity vector?
The result will also be a velocity vector. Draw the first vector. From its tip draw the negative of the second vector ( ie a vector with the same magnitude but opposite direction). The the resultant would be the vector with the same starting point as the first vector and the same endpoint as the second. If the two vectors are equal but opposite, you end up with the null velocity vector.
Can vectors be added to each other?
Yes, two vectors of similar kind can be added. For example we can add a distance vector with another distance vector. But we cannot add distance vector and velocity vector.
Two things vector have?
Length and direction.
What two pieces of information do vectors tell us?
A vector includes information about a magnitude, and a direction. For example, a velocity of "30 km/hour, towards the north-west".A vector includes information about a magnitude, and a direction.

Is velocity speed?
As used in physics, the two are different. Speed is a scalar, velocity a vector.
What two things does a vector quantity have?
In order to have a vector quantity, one needs to have some sort of magnitude and a direction. An example of this is velocity. Velocity is a speed in a certain direction, so velocity is a vector, but speed is not. These words are commonly misused in society, and used interchageably with one another.
What two vectors does a vector have?
It has both velocity and direction. A vector has direction and magnitude.
Give two examples of vector quantities?
Velocity, acceleration, displacement, there are a lot.
What are two velocity components of projectile motion?
The magnitude of its Velocity (Speed), and its Direction. These are the components of the Arrow (Vector) that represents its MOTION.
What is a resultant velosity?
A resultant velocity is the vector sum of two or more velocities (remember that a velocity has both speed and direction).
What two basic geography questions does the global positioning system helpp you answer?
where are you and your velocity vector.
In order to increase momentum we must increase either the object's?
Momentum is the product of velocity x speed, so you can increase any of the two. Please note that velocity, and therefore also momentum, are vector quantities.
Can vectors be added to each other?
Yes, two vectors of similar kind can be added. For example we can add a distance vector with another distance vector. But we cannot add distance vector and velocity vector.
