Matt is walking at 1.25 miles per hour to the east. Jaime is walking at 1.25 miles per hour to the south. Which statement describes the movement of Matt and Jaime? (1 point)

Question

They have the same speed and the same velocity.
They have different speeds and
different velocities.
They have the same speed but different velocities.
• They have different speeds but the same velocity.

Answer 1

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

Although Matt and Jaime are walking at the same speed of 1.25 miles per hour, they are moving in different directions (Matt to the east and Jaime to the south), which gives them different velocities. Velocity takes into account both speed and direction.
