6. Explain the difference between speed and velocity.
7. An object moving at a constant speed can still have a changing velocity.
True
False
8. Displacement is the total path length covered by an object.
True
False
9. A runner completes one lap around a circular track with a circumference of 400 meters in 50 seconds. If the runner starts and ends at the same point, what is their average speed and average velocity for the entire lap?
