When something is moving, it is in motion. Pressing the gas pedal in a car will put the car in motion. Two important properties of motion are speed and direction. Speed is how fast an object is moving. If Tony and Tanya both run at the same speed and in the same direction, and they both run for the same amount of time, what can you say about the distance they travel? A) They will run an equal distance. B) Tony will run a greater distance. C) Tanya will run a greater distance. D) Without knowing the exact speed, you can't say for sure.
