Question

A softball was thrown at 72 m/s to the left from the pitcher’s mound. This information best describes which term, speed or velocity?(1 point) Responses The speed shown is not affected by direction,

Answer 1

The term that best describes the thrown softball is "velocity." This is because velocity includes both speed and direction. In this case, the softball is thrown at a speed of 72 m/s to the left, which specifies both the magnitude (speed) and the direction (left).
