Velocity includes direction in addition to speed, while speed only measures how fast something is moving. This means that velocity provides both the rate at which an object is moving and the direction in which it is moving.
Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, while speed is a scalar quantity that only measures how fast an object is moving. Factors that contribute to this distinction include the direction of motion and the presence of negative values in velocity calculations.
Part of every velocity is a speed. Speed is the size of the velocity.But the velocity also has a direction, which the speed doesn't.'30 mph North' and '30 mph West' are the same speed but different velocity.
Speed is measured in m/s. Velocity is measured in m/s IN A SPECIFIC DIRECTION. You may be driving at 4 mph north, or at 5 mph at 330˚, and your velocity in the northern direction will still be 4 mph. In this example, your speed is different, but your velocity is the same. Thus even if speed remains constant, but its direction changes, your velocity will be different.
Speed and velocity are related but different. Speed is a scalar quantity that measures how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction of motion. Therefore, velocity gives information about the speed and the direction of motion.
Examples of vector quantities include velocity (speed and direction) and force (magnitude and direction).
direction
Velocity is a vector quantity, so a different direction makes a different velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity, where direction makes no difference. Since a speedometer reads the same regardless of direction of motion, it is providing speed, not velocity.
Direction. Velocity is a vector, speed is a scalar.
Acceleration is the change of speed upward. Velocity is any speed, in a fixed direction. So the diference, is that in speed; the direction can change, but the speed remain constant. Only if it moves faster or slower dose the speed change. So in velocity, if the speed, or the direction change, then the velocity changes.
SPEED has the speed only; while VELOCITY has the direction and the speed.
Velocity includes direction. For example, "the car is driving 100 km/h" refers to speed, whereas, "the car is driving 100 km/h [North]" is velocity
Velocity is speed and its direction. Average velocity is average speed and its direction.
As used in physics, the two are different. Speed is a scalar, velocity a vector.
Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, while speed is a scalar quantity that only measures how fast an object is moving. Factors that contribute to this distinction include the direction of motion and the presence of negative values in velocity calculations.

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!)
Speed is measured in m/s. Velocity is measured in m/s IN A SPECIFIC DIRECTION. You may be driving at 4 mph north, or at 5 mph at 330˚, and your velocity in the northern direction will still be 4 mph. In this example, your speed is different, but your velocity is the same. Thus even if speed remains constant, but its direction changes, your velocity will be different.
