Question

this week, were learning about speed and velocity.

· speed is how fast something is moving.
· velocity is speed and direction.

think about a time when you were moving, such as walking, running, riding a bike, or riding in a car.

in your post, answer these questions:

1. what were you doing, and how fast do you think you were going? (just guess!)

1. were you going in a straight line or changing direction?

1. was this an example of speed or velocity? why?

heres an example: \i was riding my bike. i think i was going about 8 miles per hour. i went straight the whole time. thats speed because i didnt change my direction.\

Explanation:

1. For the first question, you can choose an activity like walking and estimate a speed (e.g., 3 miles per hour for walking).
2. For the second question, determine if during that activity you moved in a straight - line or changed direction.
3. For the third question, if there was no direction change, it's speed; if direction was involved, it's velocity based on the given definitions.

Answer:

1. I was walking. I think I was going about 3 miles per hour.
2. I was going in a straight line.
3. This was an example of speed because I didn't change my direction.
