In this lesson, you will learn the difference between average speed and average velocity in physics. Speed involves distance and time, but doesn't contain direction information. Average velocity, however, involves distance and time, but does include the direction of travel. Usually in physics, we calculate motion using velocity so that we can capture the direction of travel for the problem. These topics will be important when we discuss the topic of instantaneous velocity in the next lesson.
