Here's the breakdown:
* Speed: How fast an object is moving, measured in units like meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h). It only tells us how quickly something is traveling.
* Direction: The path an object is taking, often described using compass directions (North, South, East, West) or angles.
* Velocity: A combination of speed and direction. It tells us how fast an object is moving and in what direction.
Example:
* A car traveling at 60 km/h is its speed.
* The car traveling 60 km/h north is its velocity.
Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction. This makes it a more complete description of an object's motion than speed alone.
