Velocity - <span><span>the speed of something in a given direction
Speed - </span></span><span>rapidity in moving, going, traveling, proceeding, or performing; swiftness; <span>celerity
Velocity is the speed in a certain direction, whereas speed is just the rate of fastness.
Does that make sense?

A graph of real speed can have a section that's as steep as you want,
but it can never be a perfectly vertical section.
Any vertical line on a graph, even it it's only a tiny tiny section, means
that at that moment in time, the speed had many different values.
It also means that the speed took no time to change from one value to
another, and THAT would mean infinite acceleration.
Because many fuels are fossil fuels they take millions of years to form and the known reserves are being used much faster than the new ones being made
