Here's why:
* Velocity is a measure of speed and direction.
* 15 km/hr tells us the speed (15 kilometers per hour).
* To know the velocity, we also need to know the direction (e.g., 15 km/hr to the east, 15 km/hr north-northwest, etc.).
Example:
* Velocity: A car traveling at 15 km/hr due north.
* Speed: A car traveling at 15 km/hr (no direction specified).
