Velocity is the speed with a direction and speed does not have a specific direction

Well the difference between velocity and speed would be that velocity is basically speed with a direction with a vector assisting with it... and Speed would be distance traveled... I hoped that this helped. :)<span />

An object in free fall has a velocity of 5m/s in the upward direction. What is the instantaneous velocity of the object one seco

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Near the earth's surface where gravity is approximately 10 m/s² downward

v = u + at

v = 5 + (-10)(1) = -5 m/s

so it has the same speed but in the opposite (downward) direction.

Calcular la rapidez promedio

Vlada [557]

Answer:

v_average = 15 m / s

Explanation:

The average speed can be found in two ways,

* taking the distance traveled and divide it by the time spent

* taking the velocities in each time interval and then finding the weighted average by the time fraction

v_average = 1 / t_total ∑ $v_{i} t_{i}$ vi ti

Let's apply this last equation

Total time is

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 10 + 10 = 20 min

v_average = 10/20 10 + 10/20 20

v_average = 10/2 + 20/2

v_average = 15 m / s
