The correct sentence is:

The taxi is moving with reference to  A) Monument circle. For each leg of the trip, the taxi’s  A) Average speed stays the same, but its  B) Average velocity  changes.

In fact, speed it is only the ratio between the distance traveled and the time taken - so it does not take into account the direction of motion. The speed in the first leg is

v=\frac{5 km}{5 min}=1 km/min

while the speed in the second leg is

v=\frac{10 km}{10 min}=1 km/min

so the speed stays the same.

However, the velocity also takes into account the direction of motion: in the first leg, the direction is east, while in the second leg, the direction is south, therefore the average velocity has changed, since the direction has changed.

A truck heading east has an initial velocity of 6 m/s. It accelerates at 2 m/s2 for 12 seconds. What distance does the truck tra
Natali5045456 [20]
-- The truck begins the scenario moving at 6 m/s.

-- After increasing its speed at the rate of 2 m/s² for 12 seconds,
it has gained (2 x 12) = 24 m/s of speed, and it's then moving
at 30 m/s. 

-- The truck's average speed during the 12 seconds is (1/2) (6 + 30) = 18 m/s 

-- Traveling at an average speed of 18 m/s for 12 seconds,
the truck travels

(18 m/s) x (12 sec) = 216 meters
