Question
a motorcycle is swerving to the right to avoid a pothole. which statement describes the motorcycles motion? the motorcycle has a constant velocity. the motorcycle is accelerating.
Velocity is a vector quantity that depends on both speed and direction. When the motorcycle swerves right, its direction changes, so its velocity changes. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity (either speed, direction, or both). A change in direction means the motorcycle is accelerating, and it cannot have constant velocity.
