Answer:

velocity is a vector quantity while speed is a scalar quantity

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity. This means that it is describe or characterized by booth speed and magnitude.

speed is a scalar quantity. This means that it has only magnitude but no direction.

for example, A car is driving at a speed of 200km/hr

This statement only describes the speed of the car and the magnitude, it is a scalar quantity

but a car if the statement says ; a car is driving with a velocity of 200km/hr northwards, The direction is specified therefore making it a vector quantity

Explain why cooler stars are red and hotter stars are blue
sergey [27]
More cool stars produce much of their light in the red part of the spectrum, so you see them, and bam, the color red. More hot stars, however, produce much more of their light in the green and or yellow spectrums, with much more tinier amounts of red / blue. This balance of the colors, your eye, sees simply as white. The more hot something is, the greater frequency of radiation it produces! Blue light has a higher frequency than red light, so the stars that glow red are cooler, than the stars that glow blue. :)

Hope this helped!
