OpenStudy (zale101):

what's your question?

OpenStudy (zale101):

Is this for Cal 1, 2, or 3?

OpenStudy (zale101):

What do you need help with?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

sourwing to the rescue :)

OpenStudy (mony01):

sounds more like a physics problem

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

"Speed and velocity are the same thing" is incorrect

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

speed is scalar and velocity is vector speed just tells you the magnitude without direction velocity would have to have direction

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

that's good

OpenStudy (mony01):

i think its Velocity described speed and direction

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

do you think you're algebra is superb? if so, then you don't need to worry about calculus 1 it will be easy

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

correct, vector has MAGNITUDE and DIRECTION Velocity is a vector

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

50km/hr to East is an example 70mi/hr to South

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

speed, a scalar that only has magnitude would be 40mi/hr the same information you see in your ODOMETER it tells you how fast per hour but it doesn't tell you the direction

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

what is the question?

OpenStudy (zale101):

Velocity and speed are different, so average velocity and average speed aren't the same thing. Discard the first choice.

OpenStudy (mony01):

i think its average velocity will never be negative

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

wait what?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

average velocity can be negative. If you define going east as a positive direction, then going west is a negative direction.

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

correct, velocity CAN be negative it means its direction IS IN THE NEGATIVE, which is similar to backing up or reversing your car instead of going forward from a position

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

so NONE of them is true

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

COOL beans does the twerk celebration move

OpenStudy (mony01):

@nincompoop would you help me in physics???!!!
