Question 349321: suppose a car is traveling north at 100 kilometers per hour. another car is traveling in the opposite direction at the same speed. are their velocities the same? explain Answer by ptaylor(2198) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! No. Their velocities are not the same. They are travelling in opposite directions.
Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.
Whereas speed is a scalar quantity that does not include direction.
