Velocity, on the other hand, is a vector quantity and so has both magnitude and direction.
Speed is a scalar quantity and has only magnitude.
In physics, however, they are distinct quantities. In everyday usage, the terms “speed” and “velocity” are used interchangeably.
The average velocity of an object does not tell us anything about what happens to it between the starting point and ending point.Average velocity can be calculated by determining the total displacement divided by the total time of travel.
