Speed vs Velocity1 reading

What are the possible directions indicated by positive, negative, and zero velocity?

• Up, down, and sideways

• Forward, backward, and at rest

• Left, right, and stationary

• North, south,

How does the concept of speed differ from velocity, and why is velocity able to be positive, negative, or zero while speed is always positive?

What is the main difference between speed and velocity?

• Speed measures how fast an object is moving, and velocity too

• Speed measures distance covered per unit time, while velocity measures displacement alone

• Speed is a scalar quantity, while velocity is a vector quantity.

• Speed and velocity are the same thing.

Why is the distinction between speed and velocity crucial in physics and everyday life?

• Speed is a scalar quantity while velocity is a vector quantity

• Speed measures how fast an object is moving while velocity includes direction

• Speed and velocity are interchangeable terms

• Speed and velocity have no impact on understanding motion

Understanding speed and velocity is fundamental in the study of kinematics and dynamics for accurately describing and predicting object motion. What is the difference between speed and velocity?
