Answer:

A: 8 m/s away

Explanation:

You want to know the velocity of a dog that runs 24 meters away from you in 3 seconds.

Velocity

Velocity is a vector quantity that has both speed and direction.

The speed of the dog is (24 m)/(3 s) = 8 m/s.

The direction is "away."

So, the dog's velocity is 8 m/s away, matching choice A.
