* Velocity is the rate of change of displacement, which is a vector quantity (meaning it has both magnitude and direction).
* Speed is the rate of change of distance, which is a scalar quantity (meaning it only has magnitude).
Here's the breakdown:
* Distance: 100 meters (m)
* Time: 150 seconds (s)
* Velocity: We can't calculate velocity directly from distance and time. We need to know the direction of travel.
To find velocity, you would use the following formula:
* Velocity (v) = Displacement (d) / Time (t)
Example:
If someone walks 100 meters east in 150 seconds, then their velocity would be:
* v = 100 m east / 150 s = 0.67 m/s east
Key takeaway: Velocity requires both magnitude (speed) and direction.
