This is a short page aiming to differentiate between speed and velocity. For more detailed information on either of those topics, view their respective main pages.
The Main Idea
Speed and velocity are similar concepts, and as a result, the terms are often confused and incorrectly used interchangeably in everyday conversation.
A Mathematical Model
What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
A Computational Model
