GCSE Physics - The difference between Speed and Velocity & Distance and Displacement #51

The video tutorial explains the concepts of speed and velocity, highlighting the difference between scalar and vector quantities. Speed is a scalar quantity with only magnitude, while velocity is a vector with both magnitude and direction. The tutorial also covers distance and displacement, providing examples to illustrate these concepts. It explains how to calculate speed and velocity using formulas and discusses the use of symbol formulas. The video concludes with real-life examples of speed in various contexts, such as walking, cycling, and sound waves, emphasizing the variability of speed in different situations.
