A car turns left while maintaining a speed of 20 m/s. Does the car’s velocity change? Explain your reasoning!

Respuesta :

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Speed is a scalar quantity (only has a magnitude). It signifies the rate of change of an object's movement.

Velocity is a vector quantity that signifies the rate of change of movement but also the direction of an object's movement.

Since the car turns, its direction changes, so the velocity changes.
