Which explains the information needed to calculate speed and velocity?

Both reguire the total distance, but velocity also requires time and displacement
Both reguire time, but velocity requires displacement and speed requires distance
Speed requires displacement, while velocity requires distance,
Speed does not require time, while velocity does require time,

Answer:

Both require time, but velocity requires displacement and speed requires distance

Step-by-step explanation:

For calculating speed we require time and distance because speed is defined as the distance per unit time and as speed is a scalar quantity it does not have any direction

But for calculating the velocity we require time as well as displacement because velocity is defined as the displacement per unit time and as velocity is a vector quantity it has direction

Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial position and the final position and it has a specified direction as well
