Acceleration

Question 1 • AA-F26 Physical Science

Which scenario involves acceleration?

Answer
A
a motorcycle at constant speed on a highway
B
a recreational vehicle parked in a campground
C
a car decreasing its speed due to a red light
D
a teenager talking to friends at an intersection

Explanation

Acceleration is a change in velocity, which can mean a change in speed or direction. In choice C, the car decreases its speed as it approaches a red light, so it is accelerating (in the direction opposite its motion). The other scenarios describe objects at rest, people talking, or motion at constant speed without a stated change in direction.
