Here's why:
* Speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude (amount). It tells you how much distance an object covers in a certain amount of time.
* Velocity, on the other hand, is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. It tells you how fast an object is moving and in what direction.
Formula for speed:
Speed = Distance / Time
Example:
If a car travels 100 miles in 2 hours, its speed is:
Speed = 100 miles / 2 hours = 50 miles per hour
