Yes, the equations for final velocity and final speed are the same. Both terms refer to the magnitude of the velocity of an object at the end of a particular motion.

Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude (speed) and direction. Final velocity specifically refers to the magnitude and direction of the velocity. On the other hand, speed is a scalar quantity that only represents the magnitude of the velocity.

Since the final velocity and final speed only consider the magnitude, the equations for both quantities are the same:

Final velocity (v) = Final speed = |v|
