False, speed is not the change in direction and position of an object. It is simply the rate at which an object is moving along a certain path. The rate can be constant or changing depending on the conditions and factors that affects the speed of the object. The change in direction and position of an object is referred to as the velocity of the object. The speed of any object that is moving can never be zero, while velocity can have a positive or negative value.
In order to clearly understand.
Speed is a scalar quantity, while velocity is a vector quantity.
