Speed does not take direction into account means it is scalar quantity. Velocity takes direction in to account means it is a vector.

in velocity we consider direction but in speed we do not consider direction as distance is measured only

Speed is scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity by this mean both are different. Both have same unit but velocity represent both magnitude and direction.

Difference lies in direction. Velocity is respect to direction but speed is not.

Speed is distance covered in unit time. So no particular direction. so it is a scalar quantity. Velocity is displacement covered in unit time. it is in particular direction. So vector quantity.

Actually speed is the distance per unit time where as velocity is the displacement per unit time. As the distance implies only magnitude hence it is a scalar quantity and so speed is a scalar quantity where as displacement is a vector quantity as if it has both magnitude and direction and hence velocity...

Actually speed is the distance per unit time where as velocity is the displacement per unit time. As the distance implies only magnitude hence it is a scalar quantity and so speed is a scalar quantity where as displacement is a vector quantity as if it has both magnitude and direction and hence velocity is a vector quantity. Again one thing to be remembered that distance and displacement are not exactly same there is a slight difference between them and which makes them a completely different physical quantities. Displacement is the distance between the initial and final position of a traversed body it may be even zero but distance will never be zero. Hope you understand the answer very clearly to the depth. read less
