Answer:

Here are the answers

Step-by-step explanation:

OP neglected to put the specific answers... I shall put them here

Her speed is 4.4 m/s, and her velocity is 0 m/s.

Her speed is 1.1 m/s, and her velocity is 0 m/s.

Her speed is 0 m/s, and her velocity is 2400 m/s.

Her speed is 4.4 m/s, and her velocity is 4.4 m/s.

In order for us to describe the speed and velocity, we need to know the formula how to get the two.

Speed = change in distance / change in time (Scalar)
Velocity = same as of speed but with direction (Vector)

speed = 400 - 0 / 6 - 0
speed = 66.67 meters / minute

Running at that rate is already very fast.
