Ans. Speed is a scalar quantity that measures how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction of motion.
4. What is acceleration and how is it calculated?
Ans. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. It is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the time taken for the change to occur.
