Velocity

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

• Speed involves a runaway city bus, while Velocity involves motorcycle racing

• Speed stars Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, while Velocity stars a bunch of people I have never heard of

• speed does not involve a direction, while velocity does

• Speed was released in 1994, Velocity in 2007

The speedometer on your car tells you

• average velocity
• instantaneous velocity
• average speed
• instantaneous speed

What is this graph representing?

• Constant Speed
• Acceleration (speeding up)
• Deceleration (slowing down)
• No motion
