1. Which of the following statements about speed and velocity is correct?

• Velocity only describes an object’s rate of motion.
• Speed describes how an object is changing its velocity.
• Speed and velocity both describe how an object is speeding up.
• Only velocity includes the direction an object is traveling.

Acceleration describes how an object’s velocity is changing.  Which of the following scenarios provides the best example of an accelerating object?

• A car driving at a constant speed
• A book sitting on top of a high shelf
• A toy train traveling in a circle
• A bike travelling east on a steady speed
