Description

In everyday use and in kinematics, the speed of an object is the magnitude of the change of its position over time or the magnitude of the change of its position per unit of time; it is thus a scalar quantity. The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance travelled by the object divided by the duration of the interval; the instantaneous speed is the limit of the average speed as the duration of the time interval approaches zero. Speed is the magnitude of velocity, which indicates additionally the direction of motion.

வேகம் அல்லது கதி (speed) என்பது இயக்க வீதம் அல்லது இடமாற்ற வீதம் எனலாம். இதைப் பொதுவாக ஓரலகு நேரத்தில் (t) சென்ற தூரம் (d) என வரையறுக்கலாம். வேகம், தூரம் / நேரம் என்னும் அலகில் அளக்கப்படும் ஒரு திசையிலிக் கணியம் ஆகும். கதிக்கு இணையான திசையன் (vector) கணியம் திசைவேகம் (velocity) ஆகும். வேகமும், திசைவேகமும் ஒரே அலகில் அளக்கப்பட்டாலும், திசைவேகத்துக்கு உள்ள திசை என்னும் கூறு வேகத்துக்கு இல்லை. எனவே கதி அல்லது வேகம் என்பது திசைவேகத்தின் எண்மதிப்பு எனலாம்.
