Exploring Speed vs Velocity: Key Concepts and Differences

What is the name of the yearly running event held in Epsilon?

• The Marathon Run

• The Color Run

• The Happy Run

• The Epsilon Dash

How long is the Color Run race?

• 3 kilometers

• 5 kilometers

• 7 kilometers

• 10 kilometers

What is distance defined as?

• The speed of the body

• The direction of the path traveled

• The length of the path traveled by the body

• The change in position relative to the origin

What is the initial displacement of the runner at the start of the race?

• 250 meters

• 5000 meters

• 0 meters

• 1000 meters

What type of quantity is displacement?

• Vector quantity

• Scalar quantity

• Directional quantity

• Magnitude quantity

How is a vector quantity indicated mathematically?

• By underlining the variable

• By drawing a tiny arrow above the variable

• By using bold letters

• By using italics

What does the arrow representing instantaneous velocity indicate?

• The magnitude and direction of the runner's velocity

• The direction of the runner

• The speed of the runner

• The distance covered by the runner

What is the average velocity of the runner if the final displacement is 250 meters southwest and the time taken is 1 hour?

• 1.39 meters per second northeast

• 0.07 meters per second northeast

• 1.39 meters per second southwest

• 0.07 meters per second southwest

How is average speed defined?

• Change in displacement divided by change in time

• Change in distance divided by change in time

• Change in velocity divided by change in time

• Change in direction divided by change in time

What is the main difference between speed and velocity?

• Speed includes direction, velocity does not

• There is no difference

• Velocity includes direction, speed does not

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