No and here's your smoke to shore brought to you

00:04

by speed Some people are real adrenaline junkies who want

00:08

to go one hundred miles an hour Our inner speedometer

00:11

is usually set lower than that pretty much top out

00:14

around mosey The difference between speeding velocity is which of

00:17

the following and hear the potential answers directionality Wait hold

00:24

on Velocity and speed don't mean the same thing Well

00:27

although these two words are often used interchangeably in everyday

00:30

life they do have different meanings when we're talking Science

00:33

speed means how fast something is moving velocity means how

00:36

fast something is going in a specific direction So when

00:40

we're talking about speed we could say the car's going

00:42

twenty miles an hour but if we're talking about velocity

00:45

we'd say the car's going twenty miles an hour to

00:48

the east then we'd say why is this car going

00:51

so slow Come on give it some gas This means

00:53

speed is a component of velocity It also means bi

00:57

is the correct answer just in case you don't believe

01:00

us we'll break it down for you even further answer

01:02

a has it backwards So we know it's not right

01:05

and we know it can't be see since both speed

01:07

and velocity take time into account After all they're measured

01:10

in per hour so that our party is pretty important

01:13

and we can get rid of me because both speed

01:15

velocity or measured in the same units which is distance

01:18

for time You still don't believe this Well You might

01:21

just have trust issues Just remember a las ity is

01:24

a measure of how quickly something changes position and it

01:27

has to include a direction Think of it like a

01:29

cross country race from the west coast to the east

01:31

coast Or if you're more our speed it can be

01:33

taken a half hour to move from one side of

01:35

the couch to the other Yeah sometimes we're real speed 00:01:39.046 --> [endTime] razors
