Introduction to Motion

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 and in what direction it moves. Therefore, the correct choice is “Velocity includes direction.” Both speed and velocity can be described as average or instantaneous, so choice C does not distinguish them.
