A 100-meter sprint is a race using only the straight side of a racetrack. A 400-meter sprint is a race that makes one complete lap around a racetrack. Why are velocity and speed the same for a 100-m sprint but not a 400-m sprint?

    Velocity is directional whereas speed is not.

    On a 400-m lap, you change direction after the turn so velocity becomes negative, while speed is always positive.
