Chloe drives from Manhattan to New Jersey to visit a friend. She travels along the Hudson River for 8.2 km, crosses the George Washington Bridge for 1.8 km, and drives another 4.5 km to her destination. Her trip is shown in the image. The black path on the map indicates the _________ traveled. The white arrow on the map represents Chloe’s _________. Interpreting the map provided, which terms, in order of appearance, best complete the sentences?

• speed; velocity

• speed; distance

• distance; displacement

• distance; speed

It takes Mikayla 300 seconds to walk to her friend Carla’s house at a constant speed. First, she walks up her street, moving from south to north. At the end of her street, she turns right and starts moving from north to east, continuing to travel at the same speed until she reaches Carla’s house.

When Mikayla returns home, she walks along her original path, moving at the same speed. How long does it take Mikayla to return home? Select the correct answer.

• It takes Mikayla 5 minutes to return home, and her displacement for the entire trip is 0 m/s.

• It takes Mikayla 3 minutes to return home, and her displacement for the entire trip is 2 m/s.

• It takes Mikayla 2 minutes to return home, and her displacement for the entire trip is 1 m/s.

• It takes Mikayla 300 minutes to return home, and her displacement for the entire trip is 3 m/s.

Calculate your speed and determine your velocity (displacement) using the most direct route for walking from the shop to school in 120 seconds?

• 10.83 m/s

• 1.08 m/s

• 0.92 m/s heading west

• 1.08 m/s heading west

What is the main difference between speed and velocity?

• Speed is the total distance divided by time, while velocity includes direction.

• Speed and velocity are both the same and do not include direction.

• Speed is the displacement divided by time, while velocity is the total distance divided by time.

• Speed includes direction, while velocity does not.
