How are speed and velocity different


Asked by maham237 @ in Physics viewed by 333 People


How is velocity different from speed?
A- Velocity is based on distance.
B- Velocity includes direction.
C- Velocity can be an average or instantaneous.

Answered by maham237 @



Velocity, unlike speed, includes a direction.

Velocity is a vector quantity which is defined by magnitude and direction.

Speed is a scalar quantity. It is the rate at which an object moves regardless of which direction.
