Because that's just how it is.
speed = distance/time (yes)
velocity= distance/time(no)
both are measured in m/s, km/hr or mph (no)
velocity is a synonym of speed. (no)
All of the above is true. However, in physics, you usually would convert the km/hr or mph to m/s. In physics, we typically use SI units. The only subtle difference between speed and velocity is that velocity has a direction.(YES)
ex: My speed is 24 m/s however my velocity is 24 m/s going north.
Hope this explained it a little more.

Speed tells how fast something is travelling; for example if a car travels 90 miles in 2 hours its speed is 45mph (miles in each hour). And this could be about a car which is travelling around curves and changing direction at junctions.
But "velocity" tells not just the speed but also the direction of travel; for example the aeroplane is flying at 350 kilometres per hour (its speed) in a northerly direction (its direction); it does not change direction until it acquires a new "velocity".
No, they are not the same! Velocity involves the speed and the direction of the moving object...
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.
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.
Speed is how fast you are going.Velocity is almost the same but for one thing: it also includes what direction you are moving.For example:A car can have a speed of 50 mph, but a velocity of 30 mph northwards.
No, they are not the same! Velocity involves the speed and the direction of the moving object...
same speed , coz velocity is constant velocity consists of speed and direction...
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.
No. Speed has no direction. Velocity is speed anddirection.
Speed and velocity always have the same magnitude, becausespeed is the magnitude of velocity.The difference is that velocity has a direction but speed doesn't
When a car turns but maintains the same speed, the velocity of the car changes because velocity includes both speed and direction. The speed of the car stays the same, but the direction of the velocity changes as the car turns.
In common speech, velocity means speed, they are the same thing.
No. Speed is the magnitude of velocity and acceleration is the change of velocity in time.
The size of velocity and the size of speed are the same number. But velocity also has a direction and speed doesn't.
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.
When the velocity of a moving object stays the same, it has a constant speed.
