Yes, speed is a scalar and velocity is a vector, adding them together is called a quaternion or complex motion (s + v) = [s,v]. Complex numbers in geometry are 2 dimensional quaternion subsgroups.

How do you find speed if you know the velocity?
Velocity is speed and direction
What is the Velocity of speed?
Velocity is the vector form of speed. It is the speed of an object in a specified direction.
Is speed equal to velocity?
Velocity is a vector, which means it has a direction, but speed isn't. Speed is the absolute value of velocity. Velocity can be negative, meaning that the speed is opposite to the direction that you're calling the positive direction.
Does average velocity and average speed have the same number?
velocity is a vector and speed is scalar. Velocity has magnitude and directions, with magnitude being speed. The magnitude of average velocity and average speed is the same.
Why is velocity and speed same unit?
Velocity is speed, plus an indication of direction. To indicate a velocity, you can indicate a speed (this will logically use units of speed), and a direction.
How do you find the velocity form the speed of a car?
Velocity means speed and direction. So if you know the speed, all you need to add is the direction of motion and you will have the velocity.
Why is the absolute value of speed equal to velocity?
It's not. Unless you add a direction to speed it will not become velocity. Since positive and negative are sometimes used to denote direction, absolute value of velocity may equal speed (certain situations)
How do you change expression of speed to expression of velocity?
Add to it some kind of label to tell the directionof the speed.
When an object is acceleraating its speed is?
Its speed is whatever the object is going at the time. Multiply acceleration by time and then add initial velocity.
How do you calculate new velocity when speed changes?
That depends: based on what information? One calculation you might do is to add the original velocity with the velocity change (vector addition). However, normally you would proceed the other way: you would have to MEASURE the original velocity and the final velocity, and THEN calculate the difference in velocity.f
What is speed in a given direction is called?
Speed in a given direction is velocity.
Are speed and velocity different?
SPEED has the speed only; while VELOCITY has the direction and the speed.
How is speed of a body related its velocity?
Part of every velocity is a speed. Speed is the size of the velocity.But the velocity also has a direction, which the speed doesn't.'30 mph North' and '30 mph West' are the same speed but different velocity.
What is speed in a given direction?
Speed in a given direction is called velocity.
How do pilots use the jet stream to help them?
In order to add its velocity to his own,and that way increase his ground speed
How are speed and velocity diffrent?
Speed is a scalar, velocity is a vector. In other words, when the direction of the speed is relevant, it is called a velocity.
What is the difference betweenn speed and velocity?
Velocity is speed with a direction
