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
Velocity is described because direction and speed are given.
Velocity is described because direction and speed are given.
The speed shown is not affected by direction, so velocity is not shown.
The speed shown is not affected by direction, so velocity is not shown.
Speed is described because displacement and direction are given.
Speed is described because displacement and direction are given.
Velocity is described because the displacement of the ball is the same as the distance it travels.

The correct response is:
**Velocity is described because direction and speed are given.**
This is because velocity is defined as speed with a direction, and in this case, the speed (72 m/s) is given along with the direction (to the left).
**Velocity is described because direction and speed are given.**
This is because velocity is defined as speed with a direction, and in this case, the speed (72 m/s) is given along with the direction (to the left).
