Question

Differentiate between speed and velocity

Answer 1

Explanation:

Speed and velocity are both used to describe the motion of a body. But there are differences between the two terms.

• Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time. It is mathematically expressed below:

                      Velocity = $\frac{displacement}{time taken}$

 The unit of velocity is m/s or km/hr.

Velocity is a vector quantity that shows magnitude and direction.

• Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. It is concerned with the total length of path a body moves.

                  Speed = $\frac{Distance }{time taken}$

  It has the same unit as velocity

It is a scalar quantity that has only magnitude.
