Answer:

The answer is speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is speed because the truck is slowing down, not going faster like it would if it was accelerating.


(distance)/(time) = speed

i'm not great at science, but I hope that helps.

Answer: Technically 0 SPEED

Explanation: Velocity is movement with a direction, speed is movement in any direction and acceleration is increasing (or decreasing if you wanna get technical) speed with a direction. With that being said, you can still have a moving truck with 0 acceleration. And being stopped, there is no direction the truck is moving, making speed the mosy viable answer.
