GPT 3.5
A. speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving. It does not consider the direction of motion. For example, if a car is traveling at 60 miles per hour, its speed is 60 mph.

B. velocity is a vector quantity that refers to both the speed and direction of motion. It takes into account the speed and the direction of an object's motion. For example, if a car is traveling at 60 miles per hour towards the east, its velocity would be 60 mph east.

C. acceleration is a vector quantity that refers to the rate of change of velocity. It measures how quickly an object's velocity is changing. Acceleration can be positive (speeding up), negative (slowing down), or zero (constant velocity).
