@All.
The definition of speed and velocity are same except that speed doesn't have any direction whereas velocity has. So, speed is scalar and velocity is a vector quantity.

We mention the speed in distance unit per time unit ex: km/ hr (or) m/ sec (or) some other else.
We mention the velocity in the same kind. Then how we identify it is scalar or vector? Anybody clear my doubt.

Scalar quantities are the ones that have magnitude only whereas vector quantities have both magnitude and direction.
