2. (B) Velocity is calculated using average speed, while speed uses instantaneous speed.
3. (C) Velocity specifies the distance covered, while speed specifies displacement.
4. (D) Velocity specifies both the magnitude of motion (speed) and a definite direction.

Verified Answer

Option (D): Velocity specifies both the magnitude of motion (speed) and a definite direction.
