Solution

Step 1: Given data and to find

A body has speed=ams-1and velocity=bms-1. We need to find the similarity between them.

Step 2: Definition

  1. Speed is defined as the distance travelled by the body at a particular time interval. Its SI unit is ms-1.
  2. Velocity is defined as the displacement of the body at a particular time. Its SI unit is ms-1.

From the above 2 definitions, it is clear that even though speed and velocity are two different quantities, It's SI unit is same i.e. ms-1.

Thus, the similarity we observe is both have the same SI unit of ms-1.
