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 magnitude of a speed completely defines it whereas you also need to state a direction to specify a velocity.

En el mar, la luz visible alcanza una profundidad de aproximadamente 200 metros (zona fotica). ¿De dónde obtienen energías las p

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

En la zona apótica (profundidad inferior a 200 m); todo lo que queda de la luz solar es una luz tenue, opaca, azul-verde, demasiado impotente para siquiera considerar permitir que ocurra la fotosíntesis. Sin embargo, hay comida para tener; basura, trozos de plantas podridas y derroche de criaturas caen desde arriba para cuidar a los seres vivos en la zona apótica.

Las formas de vida a una profundidad inferior a 200 m dependen de los productos químicos que salen de los respiraderos; el procedimiento que utilizan para hacer los alimentos se llama quimiosíntesis en lugar de fotosíntesis.
