Speed can never be negative because it does not depend in which direction the car moves whereas, velocity will change if a car turns from due North to East.
Quantities which can be described only by their magnitudes are called scalars and those which are described by both, magnitude and direction are vectors

Alona [7]
<span>The correct answer should be B) 63.55. That's because the most precise number is 63.546, but you would write 55 because 46 is rounded that way in the equation. The others are a bit higher, while E is a completely different element, Iodine. This isn't the most precise piece of data because in reality there would be a slight differentiation of +- 0,003u</span>

A train moving at a constant speed on a surface inclined upward at 10.0° with the horizontal travels a distance of 400 meters in
Amiraneli [1.4K]
If the velocity of the train is v=s/t, where s is the distance and t is time, then v=400/5=80m/s. To get the vertical component of the velocity we need to multiply the velocity v with a sin(α): Vv=v*sin(α), where Vv is the vertical component of the velocity and α is the angle with the horizontal. So:

Vv=80*sin(10)=80*0.1736=13.888 m/s. 

So the vertical component of the velocity of the train is Vv=13.888 m/s.
