There is NOT a difference in speed between a car going forwards at 5 m/s and a car moving backwards at 5 m/s.

Speed is just the rate of change of the position of an object. It is calculated by dividing the change in position (distance traveled) by the time it takes to move said distance.

The distance between the two points is always positive because the direction does not matter.

However, if we are looking for the velocity, the direction DOES matter. In this example, the velocity moving forwards is 5 m/s while the velocity moving backwards is -5 m/s.

In other words:

<em>Speed </em>is looking at the <em>magnitude</em>

<em>Velocity </em>is looking at the <em>magnitude </em><em>and </em><em>direction.</em>

Firdavs [7]
A eukaryotic cell that is involved in synthesizing large amounts of protein might be expected to have a lot of ribosomes. Ribosomes are dot like structure that are located around the rough endoplasmic reticulum. They are where proteins are made. There are also a few that are located in the cytoplasm. These ribosomes are the ones that give the endoplasmic reticulum a rough edge.

How are mean and median alike?how are they different?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Mean is the average you'll get when you add all your numbers then divide by the number of numbers you have. On the opposite side, median is the middle number within your list of numbers. If there isn't a middle number, take the two middle numbers and add them. Now, for how they are alike, I'm not so sure :'), but my closest guess would be they are fairly close together.

Sorry it's so long, hope I helped you :')
