Which cyclist is traveling faster ?

• A

• B

Are their velocities equal at any time?

• Yes

• No

What is happening at the intersection of lines A and B?

• The cyclists stop

• The cyclists' speeds are equal

• The cyclists are at the same position at the same time.

What is speed?

• how far you go

• how much distance is covered over a period of time

• how fast you accelerate

• the change in the location of a object
