Question

record your ideas on how the quick launch relates to the essential question: what is the difference between speed and velocity?

Explanation:

Speed is a scalar quantity that only has magnitude, representing how fast an object is moving. Velocity is a vector quantity which has both magnitude (speed) and direction. For example, a car moving at 60 km/h has a speed of 60 km/h, but if it's moving north - at 60 km/h, its velocity is 60 km/h north.

Answer:

Speed is a scalar (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector (magnitude and direction).
