Question

which answer is an example of velocity? slide number 5
○ 10 m/s to the right
○ 10 m/s
○ 10
○ 10 m to the right

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction. Let's analyze each option:

• "10" : This is just a number, no indication of speed or direction, so not velocity.
• "10 m/s" : This is speed (a scalar, only magnitude), no direction given, so not velocity.
• "10 m/s to the right" : This has both magnitude (10 m/s) and direction (to the right), so it's velocity.
• "10 m to the right" : This is a displacement (distance with direction), not velocity (which is about rate of motion).

Answer:

The option "10 m/s to the right" (the third option, assuming the options are ordered as: first "10", second "10 m/s", third "10 m/s to the right", fourth "10 m to the right")
