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.

I think it is cuz speed is velocity it's just a vector (more difficult name)
No, they are not the same! Velocity involves the speed and the direction of the moving object...
No. Speed is the magnitude of velocity and acceleration is the change of velocity in time.
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.
No. Velocity is the combination of a speed and its direction. In order fortwo objects to have the same velocity, they must be moving at the samespeed, and in the same direction.
