speed is a vector
true
false

Explanation:

Speed is a scalar quantity and is calculated as the total distance traveled divided by the time taken. Velocity is a vector quantity and is calculated as the displacement (change in position in a straight - line path) divided by the time taken. Also, speed is not a vector as it has only magnitude and no direction.

Answer:

1. A. distance/ time
2. B. displacement/ time
3. B. False
