Key Terminology & Definitions
Velocity vs Speed
Speed is a scalar quantity measuring how fast an object moves; velocity is a vector quantity combining speed with a specific direction.
Knot (kn)
A unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, approximately 1.15078 mph or 1.852 km/h, used in maritime and aviation navigation.
