* Speed: Only considers how fast an object is moving. It's a magnitude without direction.
* Velocity: Considers both how fast an object is moving *and* the direction it's traveling in. It's a magnitude with a direction.
Example:
Imagine two cars:
* Car A: Travels east at 60 mph.
* Car B: Travels west at 60 mph.
Both cars have the same speed (60 mph). However, they have different velocities because they are moving in opposite directions.
Key Points:
* Velocity can be positive or negative depending on the direction of motion.
* A change in direction *always* results in a change in velocity, even if the speed remains constant.
