Question

What is the difference between speed and Velocity​​

Answer 1

Speed is the rate of distance travelled per unit time.

Velocity is displacement covered per unit time.

Speed is a scalar quantity.

Velocity is a vector quantity.

Speed has magnitude with no direction.

Velocity has magnitude with a specified direction.

Answer 2

Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. ... On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes.
