How does velocity differ from speed? What changes in motion can result in a change in velocity?

Any change in motion (direction or speed) is a change in velocity.
Velocity is a vector quantity which means that it has a magnitude and a direction.


Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. Speed is ignorant of direction. ... The average velocity is the displacement or position change (a vector quantity) per time ratio.

-Velocity is the speed of any moving object in a given direction, whilst Speed is the rate of an object's ability to move.
-Velocity can change if the direction or time is changed, the basic equation of velocity is: v = d/t
v - velocity
d - distance
t - time
If one of these factors change, it affects the other.

A runner completes the 200-meter dash with a time of 19.80 seconds. What was the runner's average speed in miles per hour?
andriy [413]

Answer:

v = 22.54 mph.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance moved, d = 200 m

Time, t = 19.8 s

We need to find the runner's average speed.

We know that,

1 mile = 1609.34 m

200 m = 0.124 miles

19.8 seconds = 0.0055 h

So,

Speed = distance/time

v=\dfrac{0.124}{0.0055}\\\\v=22.54\ mph

So, the runner's average speed is 22.54 mph.

If an object has a mass of 20 kg, what is the force of gravity acting on it on earth?
stealth61 [152]

That force is what most people would call the object's "weight".

Wherever the object is, its weight is

                            (mass) x (acceleration due to local gravity) .

On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is   9.8 m/s² . (rounded)

The object's weight is      (20 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)  =  196 newtons .

                                                                   (about 44.1 pounds)
