A runner rounding a curve on a track at a constant speed is an example of what type of acceleration?

• decreasing velocity

• increasing velocity

• changing direction

• instantaneous speed

Average speed is

• the rate at which a slope changes.

• the rate at which an object is moving at a given instant.

• equivalent to velocity.

• the total distance traveled divided by the total time.

Changing direction is an example of a kind of

• velocity.

• acceleration.

• constant rate.

• speed.
