No, they are not. Their speeds are equal, but velocity is a vector and includes direction.

The velocities of the the automobiles are unequal, however the speeds are equivalent. the rationalization for it particularly is via certainty that velocity is a vector, which ability it has the two a magnitude and a course, as oppposed to a scalar, which includes velocity, which has only one or the different, a magnitude interior the case of velocity. wish this helps.

To extend the above answers, the Earth also rotates East at ~1000 miles / hour. There are larger solar/galactic velocities that would add further decimal point tweaks to a final "real" answer to this.

Their velocities are not equal.
Velocity is vector quantity.Their magnitudes are equal but their directions are different, so the velocities are not equal.

The speeds are, but the velocities, being vector quantities, are not.
