Question 3: A bicycle travels 10 kilometers in 2 hours. What is the speed of the bicycle?

• 10 km/h

• 2.5 km/h

• 5 km/h

• 15 km/h

Question 4: A car accelerates from 20 m/s to 40 m/s in 5 seconds. What is the acceleration of the car?

• 4 m/s^2

• 10 m/s^2

• 2 m/s^2

Question 8: What distinguishes velocity from speed in terms of direction?

• Speed takes into account the direction of movement, while velocity does not

• Velocity takes into account the direction of movement, while speed does not

• Both speed and velocity take into account the direction of movement

• Neither speed nor velocity take into account the direction of movement
