  • Understanding Velocity: Speed and Direction Explained
    To describe velocity, you need to know:

    1. Speed: How fast an object is moving. This is a measure of how much distance the object covers in a given amount of time.

    2. Direction: The path the object is traveling along. This tells you where the object is going.

    For example, saying a car is traveling at 60 miles per hour isn't enough to describe its velocity. You also need to know which direction it's going (e.g., north, south, east, west).

    Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction.
