The instantaneous velocity is the derivative of the position function and the speed is the magnitude of the instantaneous velocity.

The displacement vector gives the shortest distance between any two points on the trajectory of a particle in two or three dimensions. Instantaneous velocity is graphed as a vector that gives the speed and direction of a particle at a specific time on its trajectory in two or three dimensions.
