Which of the following accurately contrasts velocity and speed?

• speed is distance traveled in a certain amount of time. Velocity is time traveled in a certain distance

• speed is distance traveled in a certain time. Velocity is speed in a specific direction

• Velocity is distance traveled in a certain time. Speed is velocity in a certain direction

• velocity is distance traveled in a certain time. Soeed is how fast you're going

The picture of the position vs. time graph shows an object that is...

• accelerating/speeding up
• moving at a constant speed 
• not moving 
• accelerating/slowing down.

• time it takes for one place to move to another place.

• velocity of an object.

• distance divided by the time

• velocity divided by the time
