Question

Distinguish between speed and velocity

Answer 1

Speed-
Speed is the rate at which an object covers distance in a particular time.
It is a scalar quantity.
Formula:- speed=Distance/time
Speed depends upon the distance traveled.
Velocity-
Velocity is the displacement traveled by a body per unit time.
It is a vector quantity.
Formula:- velocity=Displacement/time
Velocity depends upon the displacement traveled by a body.
Velocity can be 0.

Answer 2

velocity is the speed with a direction, while speed does not have a direction. Speed is a scalar quantity -- it is the magnitude of the velocity. Speed is measured in units of distance divided by time, e.g. miles per hour, feet per second, meters per second, etc....
