[edit] Usage notes

In physics the difference between vauhti and nopeus (speed and velocity) is that the former is a scalar and the latter is a vector, i.e. in addition to the magnitude of velocity also the direction of the movement is known. In everyday language the difference is blurred, to say the least.
