Explanation:
The total distance travelled by an object divided by total time taken is called the speed of an object. Its formula is given by :
Speed is a scalar quantity. It has only magnitude but no direction.
The total displacement of the particle divided by total time taken is called the velocity of that object. It is given by :
D is the displacement or shortest path covered
Velocity is a vector quantity. It have both magnitude and direction.
Both speed and velocity of an object are same. The only difference is that the speed is a scalar quantity while the velocity is a vector.
The statement that best explains the difference between velocity and speed is (A) i.e. "Velocity is speed with a direction".

Answer:
The value of tension on the cable T = 1065.6 N
Explanation:
Mass = 888 kg
Initial velocity ( u )= 0.8
Final velocity ( V ) = 0
Distance traveled before come to rest = 0.2667 m
Now use third law of motion =
- 2 a s
Put all the values in above formula we get,
⇒ 0 = - 2 × a ×0.2667
⇒ a = 1.2
This is the deceleration of the box.
Tension in the cable is given by T = F = m × a
Put all the values in above formula we get,
T = 888 × 1.2
T = 1065.6 N
This is the value of tension on the cable.
