One airplane is traveling east at 300 km/h, while a second airplane is traveling 300 km/h, south. Are the speeds of the two planes the same? Are the velocities of the two planes the same?
---------------
The speeds are the same.
Velocity is a vector that includes speed and direction --> not the same.
