Answer 1

The correct statement is: The vehicles have the same speed, but different velocity.

Explanation: Speed is a scalar quantity that only considers how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that takes into account both speed and direction. In this case, both the motorcycle and the car are traveling at a speed of 40 miles per hour, but they are moving in opposite directions (north and south), which means they have different velocities.
