Certainly! Here's a clear explanation of the difference between velocity and speed :
Difference Between Velocity and Speed
Aspect| Speed| Velocity
---|---|---
Definition| The rate at which an object covers distance.| The rate at
which an object changes its position, including direction.
Type| Scalar quantity (only magnitude).| Vector quantity (magnitude and
direction).
Formula| Speed = Distance / Time| Velocity = Displacement / Time
Direction| No direction involved| Has direction
Example| 60 km/h| 60 km/h north
Summary:
- Speed tells you how fast something is moving.
- Velocity tells you how fast and in which direction the object is moving.
If an object changes direction but keeps the same speed, its velocity changes because velocity depends on direction. Let me know if you want examples or more details!
