Velocity may be a vector quantity which has both magnitude and direction whereas speed may be a scalar quantity which has only the magnitude. to place this in simple terms, velocity is the speed at which an object moves during a particular direction, like the speed of a motorcycle traveling north on a serious freeway, or the speed a rocket moves because it launches into space. The displacement of an object during a specific amount of your time means velocity which velocity has units of distance divided by time, like miles per hour or kilometers per hour or meters per second. The dimension of velocity represented by L T-1. The change in position divided by the time of travel is claimed to be average velocity.


v = d / t


Where, v = velocity


t = time taken by the thing.
