Question

a motorcycle is swerving to the right to avoid a pothole. which statement describes the motorcycles motion? the motorcycle has a constant velocity. the motorcycle is accelerating.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall acceleration concept

Acceleration is a change in velocity (speed or direction).

Step2: Analyze statements

• "The motorcycle has a constant velocity" means no acceleration (speed and direction unchanging).
• "The motorcycle is accelerating" implies a change in velocity.
• When the motorcycle swerves to the right to avoid a pothole, its direction changes, which means there is acceleration.

Answer:

The motorcycle is accelerating.
