10 Questions
What is velocity in physics?
Speed in combination with direction
What does constant velocity require?
Constant speed and constant direction
How is velocity different from speed?
Velocity is a vector quantity, speed is a scalar quantity
What is the SI unit for measuring velocity?
Metres per second (m/s or m⋅s−1)
What does a change in speed, direction, or both indicate for an object?
Acceleration
What is the difference between velocity and speed?
Velocity includes both magnitude and direction, while speed only includes magnitude.
What is required for an object to have constant velocity?
An object must have a constant speed in a constant direction to have constant velocity.
What is the SI unit for measuring velocity?
The SI unit for measuring velocity is meters per second (m/s or m⋅s⁻¹).
What does constant velocity mean for the motion of an object?
Constant velocity means motion in a straight line at a constant speed.
What is acceleration in relation to velocity?
If there is a change in speed, direction, or both, then the object is said to be undergoing an acceleration.
