Question

which of the following bottles are accelerating? select all that apply. a bottle of detergent that is moving toward the floor with increasing speed after falling off a washing machine a bottle of ketchup that is curving to the left as it is passed around a table a bottle of formula that is rolling at a constant speed directly away from a baby

Explanation:

Step1: Recall acceleration concept

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

Step2: Analyze each case

• A bottle of formula rolling at a constant speed has no acceleration in terms of speed change, and no direction - change is mentioned, so no acceleration.
• A bottle of ketchup curving to the left is changing direction, so it has acceleration.
• A bottle of detergent moving toward the floor with increasing speed is changing speed, so it has acceleration.

Answer:

A bottle of ketchup that is curving to the left as it is passed around a table; A bottle of detergent that is moving toward the floor with increasing speed after falling off a washing machine
