Question

which term does 10 m/s to the north describe?
time
acceleration
velocity
position

Explanation:

• Time is measured in seconds (s), hours (h), etc., so \(10\ m/s\) to the north is not time.
• Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, with units like \(m/s^{2}\), so \(10\ m/s\) to the north is not acceleration.
• Velocity is a vector quantity that has both magnitude (here \(10\ m/s\)) and direction (here north).
• Position is a location in space, usually described with coordinates (e.g., \((x,y,z)\) in 3 - D space), so \(10\ m/s\) to the north is not position.

Answer:

Velocity
