Here's a breakdown:
* Speed: How fast an object is moving. It's a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude (like 10 miles per hour).
* Direction: The way an object is moving. It's a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction (like north, south, east, west, or a specific angle).
Velocity combines both speed and direction.
For example:
* "The car is traveling at 60 miles per hour" describes the car's speed.
* "The car is traveling north at 60 miles per hour" describes the car's velocity.
