6. Which of the following describes velocity? *
A A car drives 30 miles in 2 hours
B An airplane is moving towards the west at a speed of 482 km per hour.***
C Matt turns left at Main Street.
D Suzie slows down at a stop sign.
Will someone provide the whole thing plz Thxxxxx
Agree
Yes, has magnitude AND direction and is therefore a vector
To determine which of the options describes velocity, we need to understand what velocity means. Velocity is a measure of an object's displacement over time in a specific direction. It includes both the speed of the object and its direction of motion.
Let's analyze each option to determine the one that describes velocity:
A) A car drives 30 miles in 2 hours: This option provides information about the distance traveled by the car over a specific time, but it does not mention the direction. As velocity requires information about both speed and direction, this option does not describe velocity.
B) An airplane is moving towards the west at a speed of 482 km per hour: This option provides information about the speed of the airplane (482 km per hour) and its direction (towards the west). Therefore, this option describes velocity because it includes both speed and direction.
C) Matt turns left at Main Street: This option provides information about Matt's action, but it does not mention speed, distance, or direction. As velocity requires information about the speed and direction of an object's motion, this option does not describe velocity.
D) Suzie slows down at a stop sign: This option only mentions Suzie slowing down at a stop sign. It does not provide any information about speed, direction, or distance traveled. As velocity requires information about the speed and direction of an object's motion, this option does not describe velocity.
Therefore, the correct option that describes velocity is B) An airplane is moving towards the west at a speed of 482 km per hour.
