This slide highlights the difference between speed and velocity

1. The difference between
speed and velocity

3. In everyday life speed means different things to
different people
• Hence we have the saying speed kills.
• But in all these views of speed one thing is
common which is change distance.

• Some say an object has speed when it is
fast like the cheetah

4. Scientifically speed is associated with this

5. Now lets look at the difference between speed
and velocity
SPEED
• Speed is the rate of change in
distance.
• It is a vector quantity
• It cannot have a zero value
VELOCITY
• Velocity is the rate of change in
displacement.
• It is a vector quantity
• It can have a zero value

6. As you can see with speed we are only
interested in magnitude, while velocity in both
magnitude and direction
