Question

What is the difference between speed and velocity.​

Answer 1

$<b>$Speed is a Scalar Quantity.
Velocity is a Vector Quantity.

Speed is always positive.
Velocity can be Positive, Negative & Zero.

Speed = Distance / Time taken
Velocity = Displace / Time taken

Answer 2

Difference between Speed and Velocity

Speed :-

→ It is the rate of distance covered per unit time, that is, speed = distance/time

→ Speed is a scalar quantity, that is, it has only magnitude and no direction.

→ Speed is always positive.

Velocity :-

→ It is the rate of displacement per unit time, that is, velocity = displacement/time

→ Velocity is a vector quantity, that is, it has both magnitude and direction.

→ Velocity can be negative or positive.
