Answer 2

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.
