DIfferences between Speed and Velocity
The
differences between speed and velocity are given below:
Speed
|
Velocity
|
Speed is the time rate at which
an object is moving along a path.
|
Velocity is the rate and
direction of an object movement
|
It denotes how fast
an object is moving?
|
It denotes in which
direction an object is moving?
|
It is a scalar
quantity.
|
It is a vector
quantity.
|
It indicates the
rapidity of an object.
|
It indicates the

|
It depicts rate of
change of distance.
|
It depicts rate of
change of displacement.
|
It can never be negative or zero.
|
It can be positive, negative or zero.
|
It refers to the
distance covered by an object in unit time.
|
It refers to the
displacement by an object covered in
unit time
|
SOME OTHER POINTS:
1)FOR SPEED,
i) ARITHMETIC RULES ARE NOT APPLICABLE.
ii)SPEED IS VELOCITY WITHOUT ANY DIRECTION.
2)FOR VELOCITY:
i)ARITHMETIC RULES ARE APPLICABLE.
