Question

Which of the following is an example of velocity? Question 15 options: A plane travelling south towards the Bahamas. A man running 7 miles per hour west. A car sitting at a stop sign? A dog running at 5 miles per hour.

Answer 1

Answer: A man running 7 miles per hour west.

Explanation: Vector quantity is a quantity which has both magnitude and direction.

Scalar quantity is a quantity which has only magnitude.

Velocity is a vector quantity which expresses the speed of the body along with the direction in which it is moving.

$v=\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{miles}{hour}$

Thus the correct option is A man running 7 miles per hour west.  

Answer 2

Answer is: A man running 7 miles per hour west.

Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion, for example 100 km/h to the east.

Velocity is a physical vector quantity (measured in metres per second) and need magnitude and direction to define it, for example 100 metres per second east.
