Here's the breakdown:
* Speed: How fast an object is moving, regardless of direction. It's a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude (e.g., 10 meters per second).
* Velocity: How fast an object is moving and in what direction. It's a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction (e.g., 10 meters per second eastward).
Example:
* Speed: A car traveling at 60 kilometers per hour.
* Velocity: A car traveling at 60 kilometers per hour northward.
Velocity is a more complete description of an object's motion than speed because it tells you both how fast the object is moving and where it's going.
