Background
Speed
The
Triathlon is a long swim, followed by a bike ride, followed by a long run. In
each element, the competitors are moving at very different speeds.
Speed
is a measure of how fast things move. Velocity is almost the same but it includes
the direction in which things move.
Sometimes
it is easy to see the laws of physics when experiments are done in zero gravity.
