What is velocity?

• the quickness of an object
• the location of an object
• acceleration
• speed in a specific direction

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

Acceleration only takes place when things speed up.
