Velocity is a speed AND its direction.


30 mph south

30 mph east


These are the same speed but different velocities.

The short answer is that velocity is the speed with a direction, while speed does not have a direction. Speed is a scalar quantity it is the magnitude of the velocity. Speed is measured in units of distance divided by time, e.g. miles per hour, feet per second, meters per second, etc....

A rifle with a longer barrel can fire bullets with a larger velocity than a rifle with a shorter barrel. Explain this using the
shepuryov [24]
The theory of impulse-momentum states that "t<span>he change in momentum of an object equals the impulse applied to it" meaning that the long barrel of the rifle covers a huge amount of motion of the bullet. The shot of the barrel is more accurate that way.

While work-energy theorem which states that "</span><span>the work done by all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the particle's kinetic energy" meaning that the discharge of the bullet caused by the barrel is slower but has more power than the one with the short barrel.</span>

Which of the following remains constant for a satellite in an elliptical orbit.
Softa [21]

If the satellite doesn't have little rocket engines or other thrusters on it, AND it stays far enough from Earth that it doesn't have to plow through any air molecules, AND no pieces break off of it and drift away, AND there are no hamsters inside it running on treadmills connected to external thrusters, then there's no way for it to gain or lose energy, and its total energy remains constant.  

Some of its energy is always changing, either from potential to kinetic or from kinetic to potential, as its distance from Earth changes.  But the total stays constant.
