* 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.
Example:
Imagine a car driving around a circular track at a constant 60 mph. Even though the car's direction is constantly changing, its speed remains constant at 60 mph.
To summarize:
* Constant speed: The object moves at the same rate, regardless of direction.
* Constant velocity: The object moves at the same rate *and* in the same direction.
