Ans. Differences Between Speed and Velocity
SPEED ///////// VELOCITY
1. It is defined as the rate of change of distance.///////////It is defined as the rate of change of displacement.
2. It is a scalar quantity.//////It is a vector quantity.
3. It can never be negative or zero.//////It can be negative,zero or posituve.
4. Speed is velocity without direction.//////// Velocity is directed speed.
5. Speed may or may not be equal to velocity.//////// A body may possess different velocities but the same speed.
6. Speed never decreases with time. For a moving body, it is never zero./////////Velocity can decrease with time. For a moving body , it can be zero.
7. Speed in SI is measured in ms-1/////Velocity in SI, is measured in ms-1

BASIC COMPARISON FOR DISTANCE/////// DISPLACEMENET
Meaning:: Distance refers to the amount of space between two points, measured along the actual path, linking them.//////Displacement refers to the amount of space between the two points, measured along the minimum path linking them.
What is it?::: Length of the total avenue traversed by the body.//////Least distance between starting and ending point.
Quantity::: Scalar Quantity///Vector Quantity
Information:::: Gives complete information of the route followed by the body./////Does not give complete information of the route followed by the body.
Time::: Distance can never decrease with time.///// Displacement can decrease with time.
Values::: Positive Positive, Negative or Zero
Formula::: Speed × Time///// Velocity × Time
