Velocity is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction while speed only possesses magnitude but not direction. SI unit of velocity is m/s.

Detailed explanation-2: -A straight object moving in a specific direction is said to have velocity. As a result, velocity refers to an object’s speed in a specific direction.
