What is the difference between speed and velocity?
What is the difference between speed and velocity?
Speed is the rate at which an object covers distance, while velocity is the rate at which an object covers distance in a specific direction.
What is the SI unit for speed?
What is the SI unit for speed?
The SI unit for speed is meters per second.
How is average speed calculated?
How is average speed calculated?
The average speed of an object is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken. The equation for average speed is: $average\ speed = \frac{total\ distance},{total\ time}$.
