Which of the following best describes the velocity of an object?

• 100 miles/hour south
• 65 miles

What is the difference between the velocity and the speed of an object?

• Velocity is a change in distance over time, speed is the change in direction over time
• Velocity has a direction associated with it, while speed has no specific direction
• Velocity has no direction associated with it, while speed has a specific direction.
• Velocity is the change in speed over time, while speed is the change in distance over time.
