What is the velocity of an object?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude of velocity is speed. When the speed of an object is paired with the object's motion, you have the velocity.
The change in the speed of an object is the magnitude of acceleration. The difference between the initial and final displacements is a distractor (but it is in the wrong units (length), it is displacement from a different frame of reference). The average speed squared has units of length 2/times 2 which is incorrect.
