C!

V= displacement/time
Speed= distance/time

Displacement is the space between two points, usually from the first to last point, but doesn't have to be. (Basically, it's the distance between your starting and ending point). With displacement, direction matters, but with speed, direction doesn't.

Speed, on the other hand, is the entire traveled distance as a whole. Unlike displacement, direction doesn't matter.

I hope this helped!

A group of students is measuring the change in momentum of an object. Which set of lab equipment would be most in measuring the
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The momentum of an object is defined as the mass of the object times the velocity of the object, as P = m*v.

So the equipment needed would be:

Something to measure the mass of the object, like a balance.

Something to measure the speed of the object, like a doppler radar, or a simpler thing may be a cronometer, with that you can measure the amount of time that the object needs to travel a given distance, and with that you can obtain the speed of the object.

Now you can notice that speed is different than velocity, this is true, velocity is a vector, so this has a direction, then you need something to fix the direction in which the object moves, in this way you can determine the velocity.
