Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the term for the rate of change of velocity?
  • Step 1: Understand that velocity is how fast something is moving in a certain direction.
  • Step 2: Realize that when an object's speed or direction changes, we say its velocity is changing.
  • Step 3: Know that the rate of change means how quickly something changes over time.
  • Step 4: Combine these ideas: the rate of change of velocity tells us how quickly the velocity is changing.
