How fast something is going can be described in two ways.

The most common is speed. This is simply the distance a body moves in a set time, if a body moves ten metres in two seconds its speed is five metres per second.

The other way is mostly used in things like physics. It is called velocity, and simply means the speed of a body in a certain direction, ie. five metres per second northwards.
