State whether the following statement is true or false:
Velocity and speed are measured in different units.
Velocity and speed are measured in different units.
(B) The statement is False.
Speed is defined as the distance traveled per unit time,while velocity is defined as the displacement per unit time.
Both speed and velocity are measured in the same $SI$ unit,which is meters per second $(m/s)$.

Time $(s)$ $0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16$ Displacement $(m)$ $0, 2, 4, 4, 4, 6, 4, 2, 0$
Use this graph to find the average velocity for the first $4 \, s$,for the next $4 \, s$,and for the last $6 \, s$.
