Question

Which of the following is true about the average acceleration of Car 1 and the acceleration of Car 2 during the time interval shown? A. Car l's average acceleration is nonzero and twice that of Car 2. B. Car 2's average acceleration is nonzero and twice that of Car 1. C. Car 1's average acceleration is nonzero and equal to that of Car 2. D. Both cars have an average acceleration of zero.

Answer 1

The REAL answer is

A car slows down.

A car speeds up.

A car travels at a constant speed and turns left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in an object's velocity. Velocity is a measure of an object's speed and direction. So, when an object's speed or direction changes, it accelerates.

When a car speeds up, slows down, or turns, it accelerates. A car that is traveling at a constant speed and direction is not accelerating.
