OpenStudy (amistre64):

can you tell me if direction plays any part in determining speed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it does

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mmm my quess is d but still kindav not shure

OpenStudy (amistre64):

also, can you tell me a common speed that you are familiar with

OpenStudy (anonymous):

miles per hour

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if i speed off in the direction of west, and someone speeds of in the direction of up .... does the direction we go determine our speed? miles per hour tells us all we need to know miles is a what? hour is a what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be c

OpenStudy (amistre64):

miles is not a direction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i can go 3 miles east, or 3 miles south ... miles is not a direction, its a what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

direction

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lets assume you meant to type distance

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i did

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so we have distance per unit of time ... what is our solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

speed i think

OpenStudy (amistre64):

... speed is not one of your options :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is either b or d i think

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well, when you can determine which one deals with distance and time .... youll be good to go.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok it would be a then becuase it deals with distance and time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help with more @amistre64
