Find answers below.

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

1. Speed: Jackson ran 5k in 24 minutes.

2. Velocity: A storm is travelling 25 km/hour eastward.

3. Speed: John walked 420 m in 17.5 seconds.

4. Velocity: Zart moved the desk 34 cm to the left.

5. Speed: A hurricane travels 360 km in 15 hours.

6. Speed: Meredith runs 400 meters in 50 seconds.

7. Velocity: Stephen Jay swims 110 m towards the shore in 72 seconds.

8. Velocity: Vince throws a baseball 38 m from third base to first base in 1.7 seconds.
