Question

1. Describe how the velocity

of an escalator that is going
up is different from the
velocity of one that is going
down at the same speed.

Answer 1

Velocity means DIRECTION and speed.

and if it's going down that's a different direction from up obviously.

Answer 2

The speed of an escalator that goes up is different from the speed of one that goes down at the same speed because the directions are opposite.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is a physical quantity that expresses the relationship between the space traveled by an object, the time taken for it and its direction.

So, since velocity considers the direction in which the displacement of an object occurs, it is considered a vector magnitude.

In other words, speed implies the change of position of an object in space within a certain amount of time (that is, speed), added to the direction in which said movement occurs.

Then, the speed of an escalator that goes up is different from the speed of one that goes down at the same speed because the directions are opposite.
