    The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity is speed with a direction vector associated with it. It's that direction vector that makes them different. Let's back up a bit and review. Speed is displacement (distance traveled) per unit time. Velocity is displacement (distance traveled) per unit time in a given direction. The "directionality" associated with velocity makes time in a given direction. The "directionality" associated with velocity makes between them in everyday life is that "speed" is usually used properly, but "velocity" is usually used Improperly. As you can see, "velocity" is not just a bigger word that you can use for "speed" when you want to sound smart. -- "30 miles per hour" is a speed -- "30 miles per hour north" is a velocity -- "30 miles per hour north" and "30 miles per hour west" are the same speed but different velocities

  2. The difference between speed and velocity is the speed of something in a given direction.
    While speed is the rate at which someone or something is able to move or operate.

  4. Velocity is the speed of something in one derection and speen i the rat at wich something move.

  5. Speed is a scalar quantity and does not keep track of direction; velocity is a vector quantity and is direction aware.
