What is speed?

• how far you go
• distance divided by time
• how fast you accelerate
• the change in the location of a object

What is velocity?

• the quickness of an object
• the location of an object
• acceleration
• speed in a specific direction

Can be measured in meters per second (m/s)

• Distance
• Time
• Speed
• Acceleration
