    Difference between speed and velocity or Speed vs velocity:

    Speed Velocity

    • The term "speed" refers to the rate at which a thing moves.

    • The velocity of an object describes how fast it is travelling as well as in which direction it is moving.

    • The rate at which an object moves along a path is called speed

    • The rate and direction of an object's movement are known as velocity.

    • Example: A car's speed has been stated if it is said to operate at 80 km/h.

    • Example: The car's velocity has been stated if it is said to be approaching at 80 km/h to the north.


    • A scalar quantity is speed.
