Answer 1

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

Matt and Jaime are both walking at the same speed of 1.25 miles per hour, but they are moving in different directions (east for Matt and south for Jaime). Velocity includes both speed and direction, so their velocities are different despite having the same speed.
