Step 1
This means that velocity not only takes into account how fast an object is moving (speed) but also in which direction it is moving and how far it has traveled in that direction (displacement). Show more…

What is the distinction between speed and velocity? Describe a situation in which an object's speed is constant but its velocity is not.
Adi S.
Velocity is the ratio of displacement to time. When an object moves with certain speed, it is not clear in which direction it is moving. To overcome the shortcoming, another term, velocity is used. In a way, velocity is speed in a specified direction.
