Questions and Answers

What is velocity in physics?

  • Distance covered in a unit time
  • Speed only
  • Direction only
  • Speed in combination with direction (correct)

    • What does constant velocity require?

  • Variable speed and variable direction
  • Constant speed and constant direction (correct)
  • Constant direction only
  • Constant speed only

    • How is velocity different from speed?

  • Velocity is constant, speed can change
  • Velocity is a scalar quantity, speed is a vector quantity
  • Velocity is measured in meters, speed is measured in kilometers
  • Velocity is a vector quantity, speed is a scalar quantity (correct)
