Velocity

My picture is of the St. Louis football team running out at the start of the Kamehameha vs. St. Louis football game. This shows an example of velocity because this whole team of football players is running at a fast speed in a certain direction. We learned about the difference between velocity and speed this week, and although this picture exhibits speed, it describes what velocity means because these football players are heading in a specific direction; towards the middle of the field. There is also one man in the middle of the picture (probably one of the coaches) who is heading in the opposite direction of the football players with a different velocity. First of all, he’s heading towards the touchdown zone and he’s not running. The football players may be running at a speed of 25 mph because their so hyped up, but he seems to only be going 3 mph.
