Question

identifying acceleration in real - world
which scenario involves acceleration?
○ a motorcycle at constant speed on a highway
○ a recreational vehicle parked in a campground
○ a car decreasing its speed due to a red light
○ a teenager talking to friends at an intersection

Explanation:

Acceleration is a change in velocity (speed or direction). A motorcycle at constant speed has no acceleration. A parked vehicle has zero velocity, no acceleration. A teenager talking is not moving, no acceleration. A car decreasing speed (deceleration, a type of acceleration) changes velocity.

Answer:

C. a car decreasing its speed due to a red light
