Question

(forces and motion) in 2-3 sentences explain why velocity (or speed) is interesting

Answer 1

Velocity is interesting (It's not as speed)

• Speed is scalar
• Velocity is vector
• Speed takes distance where as velocity takes Displacement .

Velocity also correlates with things like momentum, Kinetic energy etc

Answer 2

‘velocity’ refers to how fast an object is moving ‘in a particular direction’. speed is only how fast something is moving and velocity is how fast something is moving AND the direction. (hope this helps)
