If you have two different sized velocity vectors representing two objects moving in the same direction, then what can you conclude?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Ok first to answer your question on chat. So speed is the rate of change of distance. It only has magnitude. Velocity is the rate of change of displacement. If you recall displacement takes into account the direction. So velocity has both magnitude and direction. In this question you are told they are in the same direction and the only difference is the magnitude of the velocities. What do you think it says?

that only thing that it will change is the speed?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

It means that the only difference now is how fast they are moving along the same direction :)
