* Speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude (how fast). It tells you how quickly an object is moving, but not where it's going.
* Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. It tells you how fast an object is moving *and* in what direction.
Here's an analogy:
Imagine two cars traveling at the same speed of 60 miles per hour.
* If one car is traveling north and the other is traveling south, they have the same speed but different velocities.
* If both cars are traveling north at 60 miles per hour, they have the same speed and velocity.
In summary:
* Speed: How fast something is moving.
* Velocity: How fast something is moving and in what direction.
