When a car goes around a corner at 20 mph, why do we say it  accelerates?

• The car is accelerating because of the velocity is constant
• The car accelerates because it's going 20 mph
• Cars always accelerate when they are in motion
• The car is accelerating because it's changing direction

Which is an example of VELOCITY?

• A dog running at 3 m/s
• A deer sprinting at 4 m/s
• A migrating bird headed south for the winter at 3 m/s
• A person not moving at all

Soccer ball A goes 15 feet in 3 seconds, and Ball B goes 12 feet in 2 seconds. Which ball moved the fastest?

• Soccer Ball A
• Soccer Ball B
• Their speeds are equal.
