A. The yacht traveled from the dock north to the 200-meter marker in the bay in less than 5 minutes, giving the passengers several more hours to fish.

B. The motorcyclist traveled southeast along a highway at 55 mph and reached the campsite in less than the two-hour estimated time.

C. The hiker began hiking the park's five-mile north hiking trail at 8:00 a.m. with plenty of daylight left to complete the hike before dark.

Answer 2

B. The motorcyclist traveled southeast along a highway at 55 mph and reached the campsite in less than the two-hour estimated time.

Explanation:

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position in a specific direction. It has both magnitude and direction.

Travelling southeast at 55 mph is a velocity. It gives both speed and direction.

Statements A., B., and C. give the direction but not the speed.
