In everyday life, it is used in the same sense as speed, but in physics it refers to the direction of motion and the distance traveled in a unit of time. Therefore, velocity is a vector quantity and is often called the velocity vector. Speed is used to indicate the magnitude of the velocity vector. In mathematics, the velocity vector is the rate of change of the position vector r ( t ) of an object at a certain moment with respect to unit time. The word "speed" is used not only to describe the change in position over time, but also to describe the change in other quantities over time. Examples include angular velocity and areal velocity. The former is the change in the angle of rotation over time, and in the case of uniform circular motion with radius r and speed v , it is given as v / r and is constant. The latter is the area of a sector created per unit time by a straight line connecting a moving object and the center of force, and is proportional to the angular momentum of the object. In contrast to these general velocities, the narrower definition of speed is sometimes called linear velocity.

日常生活では、速さspeedと同じ意味で使われるが、物理学では運動の方向と単位時間内に動く距離をさす。したがって速度はベクトル量であり、しばしば速度ベクトルとよばれる。速さは速度ベクトルの大きさをさすのに用いられる。数式では速度ベクトルは、ある瞬間における物体の位置ベクトルr(t)の単位時間に関する変化率 速度ということばは、位置の時間変化だけでなく、広く他の量の時間変化を表すためにも用いられる。たとえば角速度、面積速度などである。前者は回転角度の時間変化であり、半径r、速さvの等速円運動の場合にはv/rで与えられ、一定である。後者は、運動する物体と力の中心とを結ぶ直線が単位時間につくる扇形の面積のことで、物体のもつ角運動量に比例する。これらの一般的な速度に対して、狭義の速度のことを線速度ということもある。 [阿部恭久] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
