Question

Your friend tells you that the car in the picture is traveling at a constant velocity of 10 m/s as it moves around the roundabout. Do you agree or disagree with your friend's statement? Explain your answer by differentiating between the speed and velocity of the car.

Disagree, because the car is moving in a straight line, so it cannot have a constant velocity.

Agree, because the car is maintaining a constant speed of 10 m/s.

Agree, because velocity is only concerned with speed, not direction.

Disagree, because the car is changing direction, which means the velocity is not constant.
