Speed and Velocity

Question 1 • 2026 Summer 305 CR_2002040-M/J Comprehensive Science 1

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

Velocity differs from speed because velocity includes both how fast an object moves and the direction it moves in. Speed tells only how fast it moves. Therefore, “Velocity includes direction” is correct; being average or instantaneous is not unique to velocity.
