When you know both the speed and direction of an object's motion, you know the

• average speed of the object
• acceleration of the object
• distance the object has traveled
• velocity of the object

If a bicyclist travels 30 km in 2 hours, her average speed is

• 30 km/h
• 60 km/h
• 15 km/h
• 2 km/h
