What does speed of motion represent?

Question

does it represent a moving force or a moving mass and what is the difference between speed of a mass and speed of a force?

doesnt a tensor represent the true velocity of all motion?

If motion is directional than isnt Power which cause the motion also directional?

Answer 1

speed is the TOTAL distance we have moved per second or per unit time
but---
velocity is NOT THE TOTAL distance , it is the shortest distance we moved from initial to final position per unit time.
no - power is the work we do per unit time, work is scalar. by this i mean that, if u pushed an object thru a highly winding path also then too unlike distance of velocity , it will take into account the TOTAL distance which u moved. the total work done will not come by one equation, it will come by summing up the works done in specific directions.
hence, power is work done per unit time. why should it have a specific direction? it is simply representing a value of the work u do per unit time. if u push an object thru different directions, u will have to change the direction of the power too. power will only change when the work we do per unit time changes.

Answer 2

first of all you should know the difference between a scalar and a vector quantity

vector = magnitude+direction
scalar= magnitude

speed of motion represent moving mass
the difference between speed of mass and speed of force is that speed of mass has just magnitude and speed of force has both magnitude and direction. In both the situation a mass is moving.

Answer 3

Velocity is a vector, a value and a direction.
Speed is just the value without the direction.
