Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (the speed) and direction.
Here's a breakdown:
* Speed: How fast an object is moving. Measured in units like miles per hour (mph), kilometers per hour (km/h), or meters per second (m/s).
* Direction: The way the object is moving (e.g., north, south, east, west, or a specific angle).
Example: A car traveling at 60 mph north has a velocity of 60 mph north.
Important Notes:
* Average velocity: This is the overall velocity calculated over a period of time. It can be calculated by dividing the total displacement (change in position) by the total time.
* Instantaneous velocity: This is the velocity of an object at a specific instant in time.
* Constant velocity: An object moves at constant velocity if both its speed and direction remain the same.
