A velocity measurement has two parts ... speed and direction.

Things like a car's speedometer do NOT qualify, since they measure

only speed but not direction. I've been able to think of two devices

that monitor and indicate both of those components. I hope other

contributors will drop in and add to the list.

Is vector the same as velocity?

No. A vector is any measurement where a direction is relevant. Velocity is one such measure, but there are others, unrelated to velocity (for instance, force).


What is a vector measurement?

A measurement that has magnitude and direction. The magnitude is equal to the absolute value of the vector measurement. For example, Velocity is a vector measurement. A velocity of -20 miles per 1 second would suggest moving away from the origin point in a two-dimensional measurement at a rate of 20 miles per 1 second. The absolute value of this would be 20 miles per 1 second, which would also be the speed. Therefore, speed is the magnitude of Velocity. Subsequently, any measurement that has a magnitude, but no direction, is not a Vector measurement, but rather a scalar measurement. Some examples of vector measurements would be Displacement, Velocity, and Acceleration.


When are air velocity measuring instrument used?
