The difference between speed and velocity
In everyday life speed means different things to different people Hence we have the saying speed kills. But in all these views of speed one thing is common which is change distance. https://www.slideshare.net/agargiscool/physics-ppt-35529519?qid=27b0b3b2-95dc-468b-bc53-46af8d69a25f&v=&b=&from_search=11 Some say an object has speed when it is fast like the cheetah
Scientifically speed is associated with this
Now lets look at the difference between speed and velocity SPEED Speed is the rate of change in distance. It is a vector quantity It cannot have a zero value VELOCITY Velocity is the rate of change in displacement. It is a vector quantity It can have a zero value
As you can see with speed we are only interested in magnitude, while velocity in both magnitude and direction https://www.slideshare.net/lazybones1221/what-is-the-difference-between-velocity-and-acceleration?qid=645339b3-61c7-469d-89cb-db7013dd7cf7&v=&b=&from_search=3
