उत्तर
(i) Speed is a scalar quantity, whereas velocity is a vector quantity.
(ii) Speed of a body is the distance travelled by it per unit time, whereas the velocity of a body is the distance travelled by it per unit time in a given direction.
(iii) Speed is always positive, while velocity can be both positive and negative, depending upon the direction.
