* Speed: A scalar quantity that measures how fast something is moving. It only tells you the magnitude (e.g., 60 miles per hour).
* Velocity: A vector quantity that measures both the speed and direction of movement. It tells you how fast something is moving and in what direction (e.g., 60 miles per hour north).
Think of it this way:
* Imagine you're driving a car at 60 miles per hour. That's your speed.
* Now, imagine you're driving 60 miles per hour north. That's your velocity.
Key Takeaway: Velocity is a more complete description of motion because it considers both speed and direction.
