How do speed and velocity differ? (1). (speed, velocity) is defined as how fast an object is moving and operationally defined distance as divided by time. On the other hand (2). (speed, velocity) is defined as the rate at which an object changes its position. Speed is a (3) (scalar, vector) quantity which means it has a magnitude only while velocity is a (4)- (scalar, vector) quantity which means it has both magnitude and direction. In describing the velocity of the object it is essential to indicate the (5) (mode, direction).
