Question 16 • FL-1501300-Personal Fitness

What is the difference between velocity and acceleration?

Answer
A
Velocity describes an object's position and acceleration describes how fast it moves.
B
Velocity is how fast an object moves and acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.
C
Velocity is used to determine the magnitude of force acting on an object, and acceleration isn't.
D
Velocity is a time-dependent property of an object, while acceleration is not.

Explanation

Velocity describes how quickly an object's position changes, including its direction. Acceleration describes how quickly velocity changes over time, such as speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. Therefore, the correct choice is “Velocity is how fast an object moves and acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.”
