Question

Difference between speed and velocity ?

Answer 1

SPEED
1) It is scaler quantity
2)It is defined as distance traveled in per unit time.
VELOCITY
1)It is vector quantity
2)it can be defined as displacement upon time

Answer 2

$\textbf{SPEED}$

→ It is the rate of change of distance of a position with respect to time.

* Speed = Distance / Time

→ It is a scaler quantity (which contains magnitude only not direction).

→ It is always positive or zero.

→ It is greater or equal to velocity.
________________________________

$\textbf{VELOCITY}$

→ It is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time.

* Velocity = Displacement / Time

→ It is a vector quantity. (which contains both magnitude and direction)

→ It is positive, negative or zero.

→ It is smaller than speed.

* S.I. unit = m/s
