check my ans? Which of the following is an example of speed? : A truck driving 15 miles per hour south. A cat running 5 meters per minute. A bicyclist ridding 12 miles per hour east. A plane traveling at 15 miles

OpenStudy (gigi1103):

d

OpenStudy (helpppp):

Incorrect but close. Speed is the rate at which something is traveling

OpenStudy (5sos):

Wait I think it would be D. Because all the others ones are exactly the same thing just different numbers.

OpenStudy (gigi1103):

so that's not wrong?

OpenStudy (5sos):

I think you are correct gigi But he says you are incorrect. I don't know get another persons input first. Before deciding

OpenStudy (helpppp):

A and C are velocity B and d are not velocity. So it narrows down to those two. speed is the RATE at which something is traveling. D tells you that it is going 15 miles, but at what rate? It doesn't tell you if it is by the hour or second or minute. Therefore D is incorrect

OpenStudy (5sos):

So would it be B then?

OpenStudy (gigi1103):

okso speed = time and rate?

OpenStudy (gigi1103):

is it b?

OpenStudy (helpppp):

Correct. ^-^

OpenStudy (gigi1103):
