General knowledge
Science, asked often: speed is how fast something moves (a scalar, with no direction); velocity is speed in a particular direction (a vector); acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
विज्ञान में अक्सर पूछा जाता है: speed (चाल) यह है कि कोई चीज़ कितनी तेज़ चलती है (scalar, बिना दिशा); velocity (वेग) किसी विशेष दिशा में चाल है (vector); acceleration (त्वरण) वेग में परिवर्तन की दर है।
The speed of light is about 3 lakh km per second; escape velocity from the earth is about 11.2 km per second.
प्रकाश की चाल लगभग 3 लाख km प्रति सेकंड है; पृथ्वी का पलायन वेग लगभग 11.2 km प्रति सेकंड है।
