SELECT TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Two buses leave school moving in opposite directions. After 15 minutes, they are both 10 miles away
from the school. Which statements correctly describe the motion of the buses? The velocity of the buses is equal. The average speed of the buses is equal. The average speed of the buses is not equal. The velocity of the buses is not equal. Both buses move with constant velocity the entire trip.
The statement, which correctly describes the motion of the buses is this: THE AVERAGE SPEED OF THE BUSES IS EQUAL.
Speed is defined as the distance traveled per unit time; it measures the rate of moving of an object. It is a scalar quantity, that is, it has only magnitude and no specific direction and it is measured in meter per second. A high speed value implies that an object is moving very fast while a low value indicates that the object is moving slowly. For the two buses given in the question, they both moved the same distance in the same amount of time.
