Is velocity for waves different than speed?
Speed and velocity are never the same thing.Velocity means 'speed' AND the direction it's going.
How is velocity different that speed?
Velocity is a vector Speed is a scaler
How is speed of a body related its velocity?
Part of every velocity is a speed. Speed is the size of the velocity.But the velocity also has a direction, which the speed doesn't.'30 mph North' and '30 mph West' are the same speed but different velocity.
If the final velocity will be less than initial velocity the object is increasing speed or decreasing speed?
increasing speed
What is different between speed and velocity?
speed is scalar while velocity is a vector. In other words, velocity is to do with direction also. Speed does not show direction.
Is velocity for waves different than speed?
Speed and velocity are never the same thing.Velocity means 'speed' AND the direction it's going.
What does velocity include that makes it different than speed?
direction
How is velocity different that speed?
Velocity is a vector Speed is a scaler
Are speed and velocity different?
SPEED has the speed only; while VELOCITY has the direction and the speed.
How is velocity different from average speeed?
Velocity is speed and its direction. Average velocity is average speed and its direction.
Is the formula for velocity different than the formula for speed?
The size of the velocity is the speed, and you calculate it the same way. But whenyou find the size of the velocity, you're not done yet, because you also need itsdirection.
Is velocity speed?
As used in physics, the two are different. Speed is a scalar, velocity a vector.
Can a particle in one dimensional motion have less speed than velocity?
Speed and velocity cannot be compared because they are different things. It is like saying "apples > oranges". Velocity is a vector and, as such, it has a direction and a size. The size of the vector velocity is it's speed.To answer your question: no because they can't be compared. And if you wanted to ask if the size of the velocity vector being smaller than the speed... no... that is the definition of speed... so it cannot be different, regardless of the number of dimensions you are using.
What the rate of change in position or rate of motion?
Velocity, which is different than speed in that it has a directional component to it.
What is the rate of change position or rate of motion?
Velocity, which is different than speed in that it has a directional component to it.
What is the rate of motion or the rate of change in position?
Velocity, which is different than speed in that it has a directional component to it.
What is the rate of change in position or rate of motion?
Velocity, which is different than speed in that it has a directional component to it.
