Question 1 • AA-F26 Physical Science

How is velocity different from speed?

Answer
A
Velocity is based on distance.
B
Velocity includes direction.
C
Velocity can be an average or instantaneous.

Explanation

Speed tells how fast an object moves, while velocity tells how fast it moves and in what direction. For example, 20 m/s east is a velocity; 20 m/s alone is a speed. So the correct choice is “Velocity includes direction.”
