What do speed and velocity have in common?

Answer 1

If the graph represents the national debt from 1935 to 1950, then it has

nothing whatsoever in common with the velocity of anything.

If, however, the graph represents the position of a moving object as time passes, then

the slope of the graph is numerically equal to the magnitude of the object's velocity,

which is also its speed.

A graph typically tells nothing about the direction of the object's motion. It it's specifically

drawn to indicate the azimuth (bearing) of the motion at each instant of time, then its

slope is the time derivative of the velocity's direction. I don't know any special catchy

term for that quantity.

Answer 2

Both speed and velocity are measures of how fast an object is moving. However, velocity also includes direction, while speed is a scalar quantity that only considers the magnitude of the object's motion.

Answer 3

speed is how fast an element moves .velocity includes the speed of an object and direction of its motion

Answer 4

The slope gives the velocity of the motion in the direction away from the origin.

Answer 5

a magnitude - the quantity representing how fast an object is moving

Answer 6

Both tell you how fast distance is being covered,

but only velocity tells you in what direction.
