1 answer

The correct response is:

speed and velocity, but no acceleration.

This is because the car is traveling at a constant rate (constant speed), and while it has a speed (magnitude) and a velocity (magnitude and direction, which is west), it is not accelerating because there is no change in speed or direction.
