Constant speed
how are acceleration and velocity related?
acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in time.
time is the rate of change in velocity in acceleration.
they are not related.
they are the same thing.
is a car stopping for a red light accelerating?
yes, because its changing its velocity.
no because its slowing down.
yes, because its a car and all cars accelerate
no because stopping is not moving, which means no acceleratio n.
