Speed is scalar quantity and velocity is a vector - velocity has both speed AND direction
(You might say that velocity is speed with an attitude!)

What is the different between velocity and acceleration?
Velocity . . . what speed and direction something is moving. Acceleration . . . how fast the speed and/or direction of its motion are changing.
What is different between speed and velocity?
speed is scalar while velocity is a vector. In other words, velocity is to do with direction also. Speed does not show direction.
What is the diffrerence between speed and velocity?
Velocity is speed plus its direction. -- "30 mph" is a speed. -- "30 mph north" is a velocity. -- "30 mph east" and "30 mph south" are the same speed but different velocities.
How is velocity different that speed?
Velocity is a vector Speed is a scaler
Are speed and velocity different?
SPEED has the speed only; while VELOCITY has the direction and the speed.
What are difference between speed and velocity?
Velocity is speed with direction
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 the different between constant velocity and constant speed?
constant velocity is when you maintain speed and direction, this usually is in a straight line, and constant speed means that your speed is always constant at all times.
What is the diffrance between speed and velocity?
Speed is magnitude of velocity, also velocity possess direction.
Explain the difference between velocity and speed?
they are different words with the same meaning.
How is velocity different from average speeed?
Velocity is speed and its direction. Average velocity is average speed and its direction.
What is an example of the difference between speed and velocity?
Speed is what it is: speed. Velocity is speed in a given direction, a vector quantity.
