<span>The shortening velocity refers to the speed of the contraction from the muscle shortening while lifting a load. Maximal shortening velocity is only attained with a minimal load. With a light load, the shortening velocity is at its Maximal shortening velocity. When the weight is heavy, the speed in which the muscle lifts the weight decreases in speed at a slower velocity.</span>
If my memory serves me well, if we want to know the velocity that an object is traveling, we must know the <span>direction and speed. Velocity includes two these points listed in the previous sentence which means the answer is D.</span>
Answer:
c. Velocity
Explanation:
Velocity is a measure of change of position of the body with time. Change of position means the distance traveled by the object in a given interval of time but in a particular direction.
We know that speed is given as the distance traveled over a given time interval without taking into account the direction of motion. So, the magnitude of velocity is same as its speed. Velocity, being a vector quantity, has both magnitude and direction.
Therefore, the <u>velocity</u> of an object consists of its speed and direction.
