The easiest, non-technical way to think about it is like this:
-- A scalar is a quantity that has a size but no direction.
Those include temperature, speed, cost, volume, distance, etc.
One number is all there is to know about it, and there's no way you can
add more of the same stuff to it that would cancel both of them out.
-- A vector is a quantity that has a size and also has a direction.
Those include force, displacement, velocity, acceleration, etc.
It takes more than one number to completely describe one of these.
Also, if you combine two of the same vector quantity in different ways,
you can get different results, and they can even cancel each other out.
Here are some examples. Notice that in each of these examples,
every speed has a direction that goes along with it. This turns the
scalar speed into a vector velocity.
If you're walking inside a bus, and the bus is driving along the road,
then your velocity along the road is the sum of your walking velocity
inside the bus plus the velocity of the bus along the road.
-- If you're walking north up the middle of the bus at 2 miles per hour
and the bus is driving north along the road at 20 miles per hour, then
your velocity along the road is 22 miles per hour north.
-- If you're walking south towards the back of the bus at 2 miles per hour
and the bus is driving north along the road at 5 miles per hour, then your
velocity along the road is 3 miles per hour north.
-- If you're walking south towards the back of the bus at 2 miles per hour
and the bus is just barely rolling north along the road at 2 miles per hour,
then your velocity along the road is zero.
-- If you're in a big railroad flat-car that's rolling north along the track
at 2 miles per hour, and you walk across the flat-car towards the east
at 2 miles per hour, then your velocity along the ground is 2.818 miles
per hour toward the northeast.
Answer : The correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.
Explanation :
Speed : Speed is defined as the distance traveled by an object with respect to the time taken. It is a scalar quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude of an object not direction.
Velocity : Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position of an object with respect to the time. It is a vector quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude and direction of an object.
The only difference between the speed and the velocity is that the velocity tell us about magnitude and direction but speed tell us about magnitude only.
Hence, the correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.
The energy that generates wind on an individual basis originates with
one's habitual diet. On a world-wide basis, it comes from the sun.

Answer:
Air is a mixture.
Explanation:
Air is a homogeneous mixture. It is made up of gaseous substances such as nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of others.
Carbon dioxide is a pure substance, not a mixture.
Carbon is another pure substance, it cannot be separated into other substances.
Oxygen is just oxygen, it does not contain any other substance.
