speed, but neither velocity nor acceleration.
speed, but neither velocity nor acceleration.
The correct response is: speed, but neither velocity nor acceleration.
To determine the correct response, let's understand the definitions of velocity, acceleration, and speed.
Velocity is a vector quantity that describes the rate at which an object changes its position. It includes both the object's speed and direction. Acceleration, on the other hand, is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity that represents the magnitude of an object's velocity, disregarding its direction.
In this scenario, the car is traveling west at a constant rate. Since it is traveling at a constant rate, it means that the car's velocity is constant, indicating that both its speed and direction are consistent. Therefore, the car has a constant velocity. However, since the car is not changing its velocity, it implies that there is no acceleration.
So, the correct response is: velocity, but neither acceleration nor speed.
