Velocity can best be described by which of the following statements?
o
a. the speed of gravity
o
b. how far you have traveled
o

The velocity is the “measure of displacement over a given time” which can be best explained with the statement of “speed in a particular direction”.

Option C

Explanation:

The velocity is the measure of displacement over time whereas the speed is the measure of distance over time. Since displacement is the distance covered in a particular direction, velocity is the measure of speed in a given direction. Velocity is “vector quantity” and speed is scalar quantity.
