Which of the following quantities is a velocity?

a
3 g/L in weight
b
25 m/s
c
10 km/hr eastward
d
15 m/s2

1 answer

Velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement and includes both a magnitude and a direction. Among the provided options, the quantities are:

a. 3 g/L in weight - This is a density (weight per volume), not a velocity.

b. 25 m/s - This is a speed but does not have a direction, so it is not a velocity.

c. 10 km/hr eastward - This has both a magnitude (10 km/hr) and a direction (eastward), making it a velocity.

d. 15 m/s² - This is an acceleration (change in velocity over time), not a velocity.

Therefore, the correct answer is c. 10 km/hr eastward.
