Talk:Velocity
Latest comment: 14 years ago by Peterdownunder in topic Velocity and speed
Velocity and speed change
Velocity and speed are not the same thing in physics or engineering.
If you talk about velocity you must give it a direction as well as speed.
The formula velocity = distance / time is wrong. Speed = distance / time.
The pages is about speed, not velocity.
These pages talk about the difference between speed and velocity.
