Answer: speed is a scalar quantity i.e they only possess magnitude but no direction compared to velocity being a vector quantity has both magnitude and direction.
Explanation:
It is evident that speed are used interchangeably with velocity and this is majorly due to the similarities in their units but they have their differences as well in that speed is a scalar quantity i.e they only possess magnitude but no direction compared to velocity being a vector quantity which has both magnitude and direction.
Also, speed has to do with rate of change of distance and velocity is rate of change of displacement.
