Speed is the motion of a body in an unspecified direction........or speed=distance/time.
Velocity is the motion of a body in a specified direction........or velocity=displacement/time.
Speed is scalar and velocity is vector......(means the same thing)

Speed = distance/time ,,a scalar quantity (pure magnitude)
Velocity=displacement,,, a vectorial quantity.(direction&magnitude)

speed is simply how fast an object is travelling while velocity tells you in which direction it is travelling and how fast

speed is a scalar.
velocity is a vector.
speed is the distance covered in unit time.
velocity is the rate of change of displacement.
