Asked by unknown 2.0
What is the fundamental difference between speed and velocity?
Speed is measured and velocity is calculated
Speed is a scalar (no direction) measurement and velocity is a vector (needs a direction) measurement
Speed can only be measured with vehicles, while velocity can be measured on all devices
Speed is a quantity that is used is experiments, where velocity is a quantity that is used in theory

The fundamental difference between speed and velocity is:
**Speed is a scalar (no direction) measurement and velocity is a vector (needs a direction) measurement.**
Speed refers to how fast an object is moving, regardless of the direction, while velocity describes the rate of change of an object's position and includes both the speed and the direction of the movement.
