Speed and Graphing Modified

Which of the following statements regarding the car's motion is true?

• The speed of the car changed, but not the velocity

• The speed and velocity of the car changed.

• The velocity of the car changed, but not the speed.

• The velocity and the speed of the car stayed the same.

The three vehicles are all traveling at a speed of 10 m/s, but only the pickup truck has a changing velocity. The pickup truck has a changing velocity because the pickup truck -

• needs a large amount of force to move

• can accelerate faster than the other two vehicles

• is traveling in the opposite direction from the other two vehicles

• is traveling on a curve in the road
