Emma Dickson · Answer 1

The correct answer is D.

Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity. A and B clearly demonstrate a change in velocity so are eliminated. And since velocity is a vector quantity that consists of both magnitude and direction, C is also eliminated because it has a change in direction.

Let me know if you have any questions.
