In Physics terms, what is the difference between "speed" and "velocity"? (it is the same thing that differentiates "distance" from "displacement")

carla slowed down in the beginning of her trip, stopped, and then sped up

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.

did yall get answers for this yet
