What is the definition of speed and the definition of velocity?

Speed is how fast something is going when the direction in which it is travelling is unimportant. Velocity is a measurement of the rate at which an object is changing its position. As such, in order to measure it, one must define both the speed at which an object is moving, and also the direction of movement.
