Question

which of the following performers are accelerating? select all that apply. a magician who is walking forward at a slower and slower pace as she prepares to do a trick a drummer who is marching forward at a steady pace during a holiday parade a stuntwoman who is speeding up as she jumps out a window into a net

Explanation:

Acceleration is a change in velocity. The stunt - woman speeding up has a change in velocity, so she is accelerating. The magician walking at a slower and slower pace has a change in velocity (deceleration which is negative acceleration). The drummer marching at a steady pace has no change in velocity, so no acceleration.

Answer:

A stuntwoman who is speeding up as she jumps out a window into a net; a magician who is walking forward at a slower and slower pace as she prepares to do a trick
