  • Velocity vs. Speed: Understanding the Difference & Importance
    A measurement that includes both speed and direction is called velocity.

    Here's why:

    * Speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude (how fast something is moving).

    * Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

    For example:

    * Speed: A car traveling at 60 mph.

    * Velocity: A car traveling at 60 mph eastward.
