Answer:

c.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the time rate at which an object is moving along a path, while velocity is the rate and direction of an object's movement. Put another way, speed is a scalar value, while velocity is a vector.

Formula

s = \frac{d}{t}

s = speed

d = distance traveled

t = time elapsed
