Question 1 • *26-27 CFISD TX-Chemistry A CR

Which is an example of speed?

Answer
A
Cindy biked westward at 30 km/h.
B
A rock is to the left of a flowerpot.
C
A dog runs an average of 8 mph.
D
Leo lives 2 miles north of Andre.

Explanation

Speed tells how fast something moves without giving its direction. “A dog runs an average of 8 mph” gives a rate of motion but no direction, so it is speed. Cindy’s motion includes “westward,” making it velocity instead.
