Speed is the rate at which something moves, and can be calculated by the equation: speed = distance / time. Speed does not have a direction associated with it. So if you are in a car and travel 60 miles in 2 hours, your average speed would be 30 miles per hour.
Velocity is very similar to speed, but it does have a direction associated with it. That is the only difference.

What is the biggest difference between speed and velocity?
velocity is speed with direction; velocity is a vector and speed is a scalar
What is speed in a given direction is called?
Speed in a given direction is velocity.
Is velocity the speed of a wave?
Velocity and speed are not synonyms.
Diffetiate speed and velocity?
Speed has no direction, velocity does.
Are speed and velocity different?
SPEED has the speed only; while VELOCITY has the direction and the speed.
How is velocity same from instantaneous speed?
Instantaneous speed is the magnitude of the velocity. Velocity also states the [direction] of the speed.
What is speed in a given direction?
Speed in a given direction is called velocity.
Can velocity speed up an object?
Well velocity is basically the same thing as speed but with direction (velocity can be negative or positive and speed is always positive). l velocity l = speed So a change in velocity means a change in speed.
What is the difference betweenn speed and velocity?
Velocity is speed with a direction
What is instantaneous velocity or speed?
It is the speed or velocity at a particular instant.
The direction and speed of an object is described by its?
Velocity (speed).
What are difference between speed and velocity?
