Read each statement carefully. Determine if it's describing speed or velocity by writing the statement inside it's corresponding classification.
1. Tropical storm travelling 88kph, eastward.
2. Jacob ran 10 meters in 10 seconds.
3. Jean moved the plate 50 centimeters to the right in 3 seconds.
4. Rafael swims 120 meters towards the shore in 60 seconds.
5. A ship cruising 34 miles per hour.
speed is a scalar quantity that measures how fast an object is moving with respect to the distance traveled and the time velocity on the other hand is a vector quantity that measures speed in a given direction. Velocity always indicates the speed and the direction of travel. Speed measured in the units of distance and Time. Kilometer per hour (kph), miles per hour (mph), meter per second (m/s) are the units of speed. The speed of an object move change
