In class, we learned about velocity. Velocity is distance over time. We found out that speed and velocity are two different things. Velocity is the rate of change from a position of an object. Speed is amount distance covered in a certain amount of time. We also learned about kinematics, which is the study of motion. We were informed that motion is relative. The picture is of the Punahou track. This was during a track and field event. When the runners are sprinting next to each other, to each other they look like they are not moving. On the other hand to a viewer, the runners are moving really fast.
Good job explaining what the difference between velocity and speed are. Also I liked your example you used, something that can be related to real life.
