What is the Difference Between Speed and Velocity? | Twinkl USA

What’s the difference between speed vs velocity? In this video, children will learn the definitions of speed, velocity, and acceleration in physics with fun and simple examples.

Learn how velocity and speed are related, but not the same, and how acceleration comes into play when speed or direction changes.

✨ Review Questions and Answers
1. What is the main difference between speed and velocity?
➡️ Speed tells us how fast something is moving, while velocity tells us both how fast and in what direction.
2. If a car is driving 60 miles per hour north, what is that measurement called?
➡️ That’s velocity, because it includes speed and direction.
3. What happens to velocity if an object changes direction but keeps the same speed?
➡️ The velocity changes, because velocity depends on direction as well as speed.
4. What is acceleration?
➡️ Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. It happens when an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.
