Question

drag the right word to its definition
in physics, the rate at which the speed of a moving object changes over time
position
velocity
acceleration

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each term:

• "Position" refers to the location of an object, not related to the rate of speed change.
• "Velocity" is the rate of change of position with respect to time (includes speed and direction), not the rate of speed change.
• "Acceleration" in physics is defined as the rate at which the speed (or velocity) of a moving object changes over time. So the term that matches the definition is "acceleration".

Answer:

The word that matches the definition "in physics, the rate at which the speed of a moving object changes over time" is acceleration. So we drag "acceleration" to the given definition.
