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.

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

3500N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of driver  = 50kg

Speed  = 35m/s

Time  = 0.5s

Unknown:

Average force the seat belt exerts on her = ?

Solution:

The average force the seat belt exerts on her can be deduced from Newton's second law of motion.

   F = mass x acceleration

So;

     F  = mass x  \frac{change in velocity }{time}

  F  = 50 x \frac{35}{0.5}    = 3500N
