Answer:

D

Explanation:

A: Velocity has direction. Once the car changes direction, the velocity is no longer a constant.

B: The direction makes B untrue

C: r = 40 miles / 2/3 hour = 60 miles/hour

   r2 = 30 miles / 1/2 hour = 60 miles / hour

The car is not decreasing its speed. C is false.

D:  Speed does not have a direction. D is true.
