What is velocity?

• the quickness of an object
• the location of an object
• acceleration
• speed in a specific direction

Distance divided by time is

• speed

• velocity

• displacement

• acceleration

The correct equation to calculate speed is

• distance/time
• time/distance
• distance x time
• distance/time²
