Multiple Select

Which of the following statements describe velocity? There are THREE answers.

• A car travels 50 miles in 2 hours going west.

• A person is walking at 5 m/s North.

• A ball is rolling to the left at a speed of 15 m/s.

Multiple Choice

Is the NASCAR car going in circles an example of speed, velocity, or acceleration?

• Speed

• Velocity

• Acceleration

Multiple Choice

The three vehicles shown below are all traveling at a speed of 15 m/s, but only the pickup truck has a changing velocity.

The pickup truck has a changing velocity because the pickup truck -

• can accelerate faster than the other two vehicles

• is traveling in the opposite direction from the other two vehicles

• is traveling on a curve in the road

• needs a large amount of force to move
