Question

distinguish between speed and velocity

Answer 1

rate of  change of distance covered is called speed....it is a scalar quantity...

rate of change of displacement is called velocity.....it is a vector quantity..

Answer 2

Answer:

Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. ... Velocity is the rate at which the position changes. The average velocity is the displacement or position change (a vector quantity) per time ratio.
