Speed vs Velocity

Question

Distinguish between speed and velocity.

Answer

Speed is the distance covered per unit time, while velocity is speed in a specified direction.
Further, speed is a scalar quantity that only tells you how fast something is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that provides information about both speed and direction.
