  • Velocity: Understanding Speed and Direction of Motion
    The term that describes both the speed and direction of motion is velocity.

    Here's why:

    * Speed tells you how fast something is moving, but doesn't tell you where it's going.

    * Direction tells you where something is moving, but doesn't tell you how fast.

    Velocity combines both speed and direction. For example:

    * Speed: 50 miles per hour

    * Direction: North

    * Velocity: 50 miles per hour North
