This is the main difference between speed and velocity.
What is velocity is a vector whereas speed is a scalar?
Newton's first law tells us that:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force.
Projectiles travel in the shape of a:
Parabola
Vectors are different from scalars in that they have:
A direction
An object that is not accelerating has this as its net force.
Acceleration describes the change in two things, each you give is worth 100 points.
What is velocity and direction?
Newton's second law is described by this equation.
What is F=ma?
Projectiles accelerate in the y direction at this rate.
