In physics we would in English use the terms speed and velocity differently:
Speed is a number (magnitude).
Velocity is a vector (magnitude and direction).
In English this is traditional from more than a hundred years ago.
This is the case in several languages as well, such as the Nordic ones (fart and hastighed/t) as well as French (vitesse and vélocité) and Spanish (rapidez and velocidad). It turns out to not be the case in German (they have only one: Geschwindigkeit) and I heard something about Russian as well, which might only have one word for both: скорость.
Can anyone confirm this?
I am writing about the origin of these technical terms, and am doing this research to have a proper understanding on their use across languages/cultures.

The Russian word скорость is used for both speed and velocity. If one needs to be more specific, they can use вектор скорости ('the vector of speed' or velocity) or модуль/величина вектора скорости ('the modulus/magnitude of the vector of speed').

As far as I know, there is no different words for speed and velocity in Russia.
We can use the noun скорость to describe speed as a scalar quantity. Скорость машины высокая - a car is moving fast (literally: speed of a car is high), but the direction does not matter.
In physics it is often used скорость движения (velocity of movement) where it is considered as a vector.
This at least proves that
there is a word that works in the both cases. Im just a student, not (yet) at native level :)
