Distinguish between speed and velocity.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To distinguish between speed and velocity, we can break down the definitions and characteristics of each term step by step. ### Step 1: Definition of Speed - Speed is defined as the distance traveled by an object divided by the time taken to cover that distance. - Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \] ...
