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

Answer 1

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

While both Matt and Jaime are walking at the same speed (1.25 miles per hour), their velocities are different because velocity includes both speed and direction. Matt is moving to the east and Jaime is moving to the south, so their velocities differ.
