What is the difference between speed and velocity?
Speed | Velocity |
The distance covered an object in unit time is by called its speed. Speed= $\frac{distance\: coverd}{time\: taken}$ Distance = speed x time Or S = the | The rate of displacement of a body is called its velocity. Velocity= $\frac{displacement}{time\: taken}$ V = d/t or d = LiteSpeed |
Speed is a scalar quantity. | Velocity is a vector quantity. |
Sl unit of speed is a meter per second. (ms-1) | Sl unit of velocity is the same as speed i.e. meter per second. (ms-1) |
Which is the fastest animal on the earth? Falcon can fly at a speed of 200 km-1 | Cheetah can run at a speed of 70 km-1 |
A LIDAR gun is light detection and ranging speed. It uses the time taken by a laser pulse to make a series of measurements of a vehicle’s distance from the gun. The data is then used to calculate the vehicle’s speed. | A paratrooper attains a uniform velocity called terminal velocity with which it comes to the ground. |
