Question

objects move in the direction of the _____ vector. acceleration displacement distance velocity

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, not the direction of motion.
• Displacement is the change in position, not the direction of motion.
• Distance is a scalar quantity, not a vector, and doesn't indicate direction.
• Velocity is a vector that includes both speed and direction, so objects move in the direction of the velocity vector.

Answer:

D. velocity
