what is speed
speed measures how fast an object is traveling
how is an average speed of an object defined
the average speed of an object is defined as the distance travelled per unit of time
is speed a scalar or vector quantity and why
speed is a scalar quantity because it has magnitude, but not direction
how do you calculate average speed
average speed can be calculated by dividing the total distance travelled by the time taken Speed𝑎𝑣 (average speed) = 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒/𝑡
what is velocity
velocity is speed in a given direction
is velocity a vector or scalar quantity and why
it is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction
how do you calculate average velocity
average velocity can be calculated by dividing displacement over time V𝑎𝑣= 𝑠/𝑡
