Question

A car drives in a circle at 56 km/hr. Which of

the following accurately describes the
motion of the car? The car's -
speed and velocity are both constant.
velocity is constant but speed is changing.
speed is constant but velocity is changing.
speed and velocity are both changing.

Answer 1

Speed is constant but velocity is changing

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is a scalar quantity, meaning magnitude only. Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning magnitude and direction. If you're moving in a circle at a constant speed, the speed is constant but the direction is constantly changing. Therefore, the speed is constant but velocity changes.
