A soccer player practices kicking the ball into the goal from halfway down the soccer field, which is 45 meters away. The time it takes for the ball to get to the goal from the time it is kicked is 3 seconds. The player wants to know the velocity of the ball.

Is there enough information to calculate this?


Yes, displacement is 45 meters, elapsed time is three seconds, and the direction is toward the goal. Velocity is 135 m/s toward the goal.


No, only speed can be calculated from the distance of 45 meters and the time of 3 seconds.


Yes, displacement is 45 meters, time is three seconds, and the direction is toward the goal. Velocity is 15 m/s towards the goal.
