Explanation:
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. ... On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes.

Explanation:
Speed:
- Speed refers to the "rate of change" of distance with "respect to time".
- It is a "scalar quantity".
- It does not indicate the direction in which the object is moving.
Velocity:
- Velocity refers to the "rate of change of displacement" with "respect to time".
- It is a "vector quantity".
- It indicates the direction in which the "object is moving".
