9. How to represent velocity


Velocity can be represented by an arrow, with the length of the arrow representing speed and the way the arrow points representing direction.

Or you can use a + or – to give the direction:

+ 25 m/s (25 m/s to the right)
-25 m/s (25 m/s to the left)

Objects have the same velocity only if they are moving at the same speed and in the same direction.
