Error frecuente:
Learners often use "velocity" and "speed" as perfect synonyms. In physics, "velocity" usually includes direction (for example, 10 m/s north), while "speed" is only how fast something moves, without direction.

speed (General term for how fast something moves; does not always highlight direction the way the physics term "velocity" does.)
