The correct statement is: **The vehicles have the same speed, but different velocity.**
Speed is a scalar quantity and only measures how fast an object is moving, regardless of direction. Both the motorcycle and the car are traveling at 40 miles per hour, so they have the same speed.
Velocity, on the other hand, is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. Since the motorcycle is going north and the car is going south, they have different velocities.
