* Speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude (how fast something is moving).
* Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction.
Example:
Imagine a car traveling at a constant speed of 60 mph around a circular track. Even though the car's speed is constant, its velocity is constantly changing because its direction of motion is constantly changing.
Key point: Velocity is a vector. If the direction changes, even if the speed remains the same, the velocity will change.
