  • Understanding Velocity: Speed and Direction Explained
    To determine velocity, you need to know:

    1. Speed: This tells you how fast an object is moving.

    2. Direction: This tells you the direction in which the object is moving.

    Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction. For example, saying a car is traveling at 60 miles per hour is only describing its speed. To describe its velocity, you would say something like "the car is traveling at 60 miles per hour eastward".
