Speed and velocity have the same magnitudes. The only difference is that speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity. In other words, speed is just a magnitude, while velocity is a magnitude with direction. They're essentially the same.

Let's convert miles to meters and minutes to seconds

1/4 mile = 402.34 meters ( 1 mile = 1609 m)
13.1 minutes = 786 seconds (1 minute = 60 seconds)

Speed is calculated as distance over time, thus,

Speed = (402.34 meters)*8/786 seconds
a.) Speed = 4.1 m./s
b.) Velocity = 4.1 m/s

1. Humidity cannot be used to predict rain.
2. I'm pretty sure it's weather but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe like 89% sure.

3. Tempurature doesn't affect humidity.

4. Not sure but I think its the 3rd one

How can you tell if something has a lot of kinetic energy? How can you tell if something only has a little bit of kinetic energy

dezoksy [38]

Based on the equation KE = 1/2(m)(v^2), Kinetic Energy can be measured based on velocity. If an object has a large velocity, it have a larger kinetic energy than if the velocity is small.
