DOK Level 1: Recall

Explain the difference between speed and velocity.

• Speed is a vector quantity, while velocity is a scalar quantity.

• Speed has direction, while velocity does not.

• Speed is the rate of change of distance, while velocity is the rate of change of displacement.

• Speed and velocity are the same.
