* Speed: A scalar quantity that tells you how fast something is moving. It only considers the magnitude (amount) of the movement. For example, 60 mph is a speed.
* Velocity: A vector quantity that tells you how fast something is moving and in what direction. It considers both magnitude and direction. For example, 60 mph north is a velocity.
Here's an analogy:
Imagine two cars traveling at the same speed of 60 mph.
* Car A is traveling directly north.
* Car B is traveling in a circle.
Both cars have the same speed, but they have different velocities because they are moving in different directions.
In summary:
* Speed is the rate of change of distance.
* Velocity is the rate of change of displacement (which includes direction).
