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.

How are acceleration and speed related​
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Usually, acceleration means the speed is changing, but not always. When an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed, it is still accelerating, because the direction of its velocity is changing.

A dielectric material such as paper is inserted between the plates of a capacitor as the capacitor holds a fixed charge on its p
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Introducing a dielectric into a capacitor decreases the electric field, which decreases the voltage, which increases the capacitance.

Explanation:

A dielectric (or dielectric material) is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. When a dielectric material is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization
