Two things that aren't involved in speed: -- the straight-line distance between the start- and end- points. -- the direction from start-point to end-point.

The correct answer to the question is: Direction

EXPLANATION:

The average velocity of a body is defined as the rate of change of displacement.

We know that displacement is a vector quantity. Hence, it has magnitude as well as direction for its specification.

On the other hand, the average speed of a body is defined as the rate of change of distance travelled. Hence, the average speed of a body is a scalar quantity. It means that it has only magnitude.

Hence, during the calculation of average velocity,we have to think of its direction.

What is velocity change divided by time change?

Luda [366]

Acceleration: is the change in velocity divided by the time it takes for the change to occur. . Acceleration is the change in verity divided by the time it takes to make the change, Acceleration has direction.
