Background Information:Background Information:►SpeedSpeed

An object in motion takes time to change its position. Speed is the measurement of the rate of change in position and can be linear or rotational. The units for speed are a distance or an angle per unit of time, such as miles per hour or degrees per second.

►VelocityVelocity Speed (s) and velocity (v) are related

concepts but are not the same thing. The velocity of an object includes both its speed and its direction.
