Question

If you told a policeman about a car traveling 44.704 m/s (100 mph) that was traveling in an eastward direction, you would be describing the car's ___.

Answer 1

Velocity

Step-by-step explanation:

You would be describing the velocity of the car.

Velocity in physics is defined as Vector quantity that describes the displacement of an object with respect to the time it takes to attain it. Displacement is the addition of direction to the speed of an object. The displacement is noted in the question, "traveling eastward". While it is stated that the car travels at 44.704 m/s. Ordinarily, it would have been tagged speed, if not for the direction added to it which makes it velocity.

I hope you understand.
