Answer & Explanation:
- Speed: Measure of total distance travelled by the total time taken.
Speed = Total distance travelled/ Total time taken
- Velocity: Measure of the shortest distance (displacement) travelled by the total time taken.
Velocity = Total Displacement/ Total time taken
- Clearly, velocity is a kind of speed.
- There can be many speeds but there can be only one velocity.
Both have units of m/s or km/hr.
Thanks!
