Question

Matt is walking at 1.25 miles per hour to the east. Jaime is walking at 1.25 miles per hour to the south. Which statement describes the movement of Matt and Jaime?(1 point)ResponsesThey have the same speed but different velocities.They have the same speed but different velocities.They have different speeds and different velocities.They have different speeds and different velocities.They have different speeds but the same velocity.They have different speeds but the same velocity.They have the same speed and the same velocity

Answer 1

The correct statement is: They have the same speed but different velocities.

Although both Matt and Jaime are walking at the same speed of 1.25 miles per hour, their velocities differ because velocity includes both speed and direction. Matt is moving east while Jaime is moving south, so their velocities are different.
