Hector's velocity changed because his direction changed.
are you sure
Apologies for the confusion. You are correct. Hector's velocity changed because his direction changed.
Hector's velocity changed because his direction changed.
To determine the answer, we need to understand the concept of velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude (speed) and direction.
In this scenario, Hector first travels due south at a speed of 3 m/s. The velocity is therefore 3 m/s in the south direction.
Then, Hector turns west and continues at the same speed for another three blocks. Since he maintains a constant speed of 3 m/s throughout, his speed does not change. However, his direction changes from south to west.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Hector's velocity changed because his direction changed.
