What is the primary difference between speed and velocity?

• Speed is a vector quantity, while velocity is a scalar quantity.

• Speed has both magnitude and direction, while velocity has only magnitude.

• Speed is a scalar quantity with magnitude only, while velocity is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction.

• Speed is calculated using displacement, while velocity is calculated using distance.

How is average speed calculated?

• Total displacement divided by total time.

• Total distance divided by total time.

• Absolute value of instantaneous velocity.

• Total distance multiplied by total time.

What is the formula for calculating average velocity?

• Average velocity = total distance / time

• Average velocity = displacement / time

• Average velocity = speed x time

• Average velocity = total distance / displacement

Which statement accurately describes the nature of speed and velocity regarding their values?

• Speed can be positive or negative, while velocity is always positive.

• Both speed and velocity are always positive.

• Speed is always positive, while velocity can be positive or negative depending on direction.

• Both speed and velocity can be positive or negative, but speed is the absolute value of velocity.
