Differentiate between the following A speed and velocity . B distance

1.	Differentiate between the following A speed and velocity . B distance and displacement
Answer» ANSWER: speed -It is defined as rate of CHANGE of DISTANCE. It is scalar quantity. It can never be negative and zero. speed is velocity without direction. speed never DECREASES with time . velovity- It is defined as rate of change of displacement. It is a vector quantity. It can be negative zero and positive. velocity is directed speed. velocity can decrease with time. Distance - The amount of space between two point measured along the actual path. length of the total avenue traversed by the body. It is scalar. It GIVES information of the route followed by the body. it can never decrease with time . Displacement - the amount of space between two point measured along the minimum path. least distance between starting and ending point. it is vector. does not give complete information of the route followed by the body. It can decrease with time. hope it helps you.

Differentiate between the following A speed and velocity . B distance and displacement

Answer»

speed -It is defined as rate of CHANGE of DISTANCE.

It is scalar quantity.

It can never be negative and zero.

speed is velocity without direction.

speed never DECREASES with time .

velovity-

It is defined as rate of change of displacement.

It is a vector quantity.

It can be negative zero and positive.

velocity is directed speed.

velocity can decrease with time.

Distance -

The amount of space between two point measured along the actual path.

length of the total avenue traversed by the body.

It is scalar.

It GIVES information of the route followed by the body.

it can never decrease with time .

Displacement -

the amount of space between two point measured along the minimum path.

least distance between starting and ending point.

it is vector.

does not give complete information of the route followed by the body.

It can decrease with time.

hope it helps you.
