speed is distance divided by time Miles per hour velocity is distance divided by time for a given direction so it is direction sometimes known as a vector. so VECTOR

Speed is equal to the magnitude of velocity almost always. Speed is total distance / total time no matter which way the distance goes. Velocity is the distance from a starting point divided by total time.
The physics formula for speed is s = d x t whered is the distance traveled in a period of timet is the amount of time it took to travel the distances is the speed traveled
total velocity * * * * * It is the average speed, not velocity which is a vector.
Yea it is.
This is because speed is defined as the absolute value of velocity - irrespective of the direction of motion.
