Question

Can an object have a certain amount of speed but zero velocity or vice versa?

Answer 1

yes its true cauz speed= distance/time while velocity = displacement/ time. now consider a case when u jogging in a circular path, u start from one point and when u reach the same point, u count to complete one lap. so here u have covered a distance (which is the circumference of the circle) but u have zero displacement

Answer 2

thank you! so let me ask, vice versa how would you explain it?
Meaning if the velocity was constant but the speed was zero?

Answer 3

i am sry but can u give me an physical example of the vice versa u said. i believe it to be not possible. if wrong plz correct

Answer 4

I would first like to humbly thank you for helping me

Answer 5

Now, I know it must be confusing to us both lol The reason I asked the Vice Versa Question was because, I didn't quite understand the question in it's entirely being: Can an object have a certain amount of speed but zero velocity or vice versa? (The Vice Versa part of the question has me confused on whether they want me to think of it the other way around in terms of zero speed and certain amount of velocity? It doesn't make sense to me, but, I figured I would ask you

Answer 6

Is is possible for an object to have a nonzero acceleration but, a zero velocity?

Answer 7

i believe it to be not possible
