Detailed explanation-1: -Speed and Direction Speed tells you only how fast or slow an object is moving. It doesn’t tell you the direction the object is moving. The measure of both speed and direction is called velocity. Velocity is a vector.

Detailed explanation-2: -Speed is a description of how fast an object moves; velocity is how fast and in what direction it moves. In physics, velocity is speed in a given direction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Velocity (v) is a vector quantity that measures displacement (or change in position, s) over the change in time (t), represented by the equation v = s/t. Speed (or rate, r) is a scalar quantity that measures the distance traveled (d) over the change in time (t), represented by the equation r = d/t.

Detailed explanation-4: -Speed is the time rate at which an object is moving along a path, while velocity is the rate and direction of an object’s movement.
