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.
A Kangaroo hops 60 m to the east in 5 seconds What is the kangaroo's velocity?
It's 60 divided by 5, Which is 12m/s east. Velocity is a vector for speed, since velocity has a direction and speed does not. Velocity has the SI units of meters per second. So you take the meters and divide by how many seconds to get your velocity.
If a rock is dropped and it's speed increases from 0 to 4.9 in about 3 seconds. what is the acceleration?
Assuming that your units of velocity are in units/second Acceleration = (velocity 2 - velocity 1) / time Acceleration = (4.9 - 0) / 3 Acceleration =1.63 *With correct significant figures the answer is 2
How do you get velocity when time in seconds is 0.1 and distance is 8?
velocity=distance/time for uniform velocity. You need units for both the time and the distance to get a correct answer. Example: the speed limit is 65 miles/hour
How do you find speed if you know the velocity?
Velocity is speed and direction
