Question

1. which of the following best explains how speed and velocity are different when analyzing the motion of an object? speed measures position over the change in a fixed direction over time. velocity measures position over the change in time. speed measures the distance traveled over the change in time, whereas velocity measures speed in a specific direction. velocity measures the distance traveled over the change in time, speed measures velocity in a specific direction.

Explanation:

Speed is a scalar quantity that measures the distance traveled over the change in time. Velocity is a vector quantity that measures speed in a specific direction.

Answer:

Speed measures the distance traveled over the change in time. Velocity measures speed in a specific direction.
