Speed describes the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled, if the direction is not specified.
No, you cannot.
A speed. If the direction is relevant, a velocity.

Speed describes the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled, if the direction is not specified.
The car has traveled a total distance of 18 miles (10 miles south + 8 miles north), but its displacement is 2 miles south. Displacement is the shortest distance between the starting and ending points, regardless of the actual path taken.
No, you cannot.
Velocity
velocity
Displacement is just distance traveled and a direction. For example 40m east is a displacement distance
velocity means the distance traveled in certain time and in a certain direction. Therefore: velocity is the result of dividing the traveled distance by time taken, and adding a direction to it.

Work = force x distance traveled (only when the force and distance are acting in the same direction)
