Speed and Velocity

Question 8 • 350CR Integrated Science

Which is an example of speed?

Answer
C
Cindy biked westward at 30 km/h.
A
A rock is to the left of a flowerpot.
A
A dog runs an average of 8 mph.
L
Leo lives 2 miles north of Andre.

Explanation

Speed tells how fast something moves, without specifying a direction. The dog runs an average of 8 mph, which gives a rate of motion without a direction. Cindy’s westward motion includes a direction, so it describes velocity instead.
