If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile, they have the same
a. acceleration
b. force
c. mass
d. velocity

If two runners cover a mile in the same amount of time, then
they have the same average speed during that time. 
We don't know anything about their velocity, because they
may have followed different routes, or run a mile in completely
opposite directions.  We don't know.

"Velocity" is not just a high-class word for "speed".  Even though
they're related, they are two different things.

Iread this book last year so take this with a grain of salt.gene jumps from the tree to compete with finny due to the fact that gene is always trying to do better than finny. he is put under the grasp of peer pressure due to finny almost forcing him to do this. ever since he first jumped finny kept pressuring him to jump since he thought gene enjoyed jumping.rather than uses this answer you should probably just reread chapters 3-4
