Answer 2

★ Speed...✒

• It is the rate at which a particular distance is covered by an object.

• It is a scalar quantity as it comprises of magnitude only.

• Speed indicates how fast an object is moving.

• Speed may never be zero or negative.

★ Velocity...✒

• Velocity refers to the rate at which an object changes their position in a particular direction.

• Velocity is a vector quantity as it comprises of both magnitude and direction.

• It indicates how fast the object is moving along with its position.

• Velocity may be zero, negative or positive.
