Velocities of points

Drag B.

The magnitude of the velocity of B is twice as big as the magnitude of the velocity of C.

For equal time intervals, successive positions of B are twice as separated as the corresponding positions for C. After the same time, the total distance travelled by B is twice as big as the distance travelled by C.
