Speed is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the total time it took to travel that particular distance.
1. Velocity is the speed with a direction, while speed does not have a direction.
2. 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 etc.
3. Velocity is a vector quantity -- when giving the velocity we must specify the magnitude (the speed) and the direction of travel. For example A drive 100km/hr (the speed) in a north direction.
