Question

what is the difference between velocity and acceleration? a. velocity describes an objects position and acceleration describes how fast it moves. b. velocity is how fast an object moves and acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. c. velocity is used to determine the magnitude of force acting on an object, and acceleration isnt. d. velocity is a time - dependent property of an object, while acceleration is not. please select the best answer from the choices provided.

Explanation:

Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position, which indicates how fast it moves. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Option B correctly states that velocity is how fast an object moves and acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. Option A wrongly says velocity describes position. Option C is incorrect as velocity isn't used to determine force magnitude directly in this context. Option D is wrong as both velocity and acceleration are time - dependent.

Answer:

B. Velocity is how fast an object moves and acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.
