When a car goes around a corner at 20 mph, why do we say it accelerates?

• The car is accelerating because of the velocity is constant

• The car accelerates because it's going 20 mph

• Cars always accelerate when they are in motion

• The car is accelerating because it's changing direction

The correct equation to calculate speed is

• distance ÷ time

• time/distance

• distance x time

• distance/time²

What is the difference between the velocity and the speed of an object?

• Velocity is a change in distance over time, speed is the change in direction over time
• Velocity has a direction associated with it, while speed has no specific direction
• Velocity has no direction associated with it, while speed has a specific direction.
• Velocity is the change in speed over time, while speed is the change in distance over time.
