for speed you only need a speedometer.
for velocity you need a speedometer and a compass.
Distance covered per unit of time is called speed.
To calculate speed, you need two pieces of information: the distance traveled and the time taken. The formula for speed is:
Speed = Distance / Time
For example, if you traveled a distance of 100 kilometers in 2 hours, the speed would be calculated as:
Speed = 100 km / 2 hours = 50 km/h
So, the speed in this example would be 50 kilometers per hour.
