What is velocity?

• the quickness of an object

• the location of an object

• acceleration

• speed in a specific direction

Speed is different from velocity because

• Velocity has a direction

• Speed uses Distance /Time

• Velocity doesn't include time

• Velocity doesn't include distance

Acceleration is defined as the CHANGE in 

• time of motion to another place. 

• velocity 

• distance 

• speed
