Question

Which statement is an example of velocity? A student walks 20 meters down the street; A car travels east at 55 kilometers per hour; A skateboard moves 2 meters per second; A ball rolls centimeters away from the table

Answer 1

The statement that is an example of velocity is: "A car travels east at 55 kilometers per hour."

Velocity is defined as the speed of an object in a particular direction, so the directional component (east) along with the speed (55 kilometers per hour) makes this statement an example of velocity.
