Pick the correct statement regarding velocity and speed. Velocity tells you how fast an object moves. Speed tells you how fast and in which direction an object moves. Speed tells you how fast an object moves. Velocity tells you how fast and in which direction an object moves. Velocity tells you an objects direction only. Speed tells you an objects direction only.
