Speed vs Velocity1 reading

What are the possible directions indicated by positive, negative, and zero velocity?

• Up, down, and sideways

• Forward, backward, and at rest

• Left, right, and stationary

• North, south,

What is the main difference between speed and velocity?

• Speed measures how fast an object is moving, and velocity too

• Speed measures distance covered per unit time, while velocity measures displacement alone

• Speed is a scalar quantity, while velocity is a vector quantity.

• Speed and velocity are the same thing.

Why is the distinction between speed and velocity crucial in physics and everyday life?

• Speed is a scalar quantity while velocity is a vector quantity

• Speed measures how fast an object is moving while velocity includes direction

• Speed and velocity are interchangeable terms

• Speed and velocity have no impact on understanding motion
