  • Understanding Velocity: Speed and Direction Explained
    The two factors that determine velocity are:

    1. Speed: This refers to how fast an object is moving. It's a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude.

    2. Direction: This refers to the path along which the object is moving. It's a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

    Velocity is a vector quantity that combines both speed and direction. Therefore, two objects can have the same speed but different velocities if they are moving in different directions.
