11.2 Speed and Velocity Velocity Velocity is a description of both _____________ and ____________ of motion. Velocity is a ____________. To describe the velocity of a cheetah correctly, you must assess it’s speed and many directional changes speed direction vector

11.2 Speed and Velocity As the sailboat’s direction changes, its velocity also ______________, even if its speed stays the same. Since velocity is a vector, It can be represented __________ Velocity changes arrows

11.2 Speed and Velocity Combining Velocities Two or more velocities add by ___________ ________________. Ex: If a boat is moving on a flowing river, you must calculate the velocity of the ______________ relative to the riverbank and the velocity of the ______________ relative to the river. Combined, they yield the velocity of the boat relative to the riverbank. 5 km/h + 12 km/h = vector addition river boat 17 km/h
