In this song by They Might Be Giants, the difference between speed and velocity is explained. It shows an airplane taking off and flying in the air. This is both speed and velocity. Speed because it is going 500 miles per hour, and while its velocity is also 500 miles per hour, its velocity is actually 500 mph in the western direction. This demonstration shows:
Speed = 500 mph
Velocity = 500 mph west
I really liked the link that you posted. It actually had a great explanation. My post was similar to yours because we both used YOUTUBE videos, but my post is different from yours because you had a great analysis of the link. I also liked that your link was actually a song. Great Job!
