What is speed?
Speed is the total distance traveled per unit of time. Speed equals distance divided by time.
What is velocity?
How fast something is moving in a particular direction. Velocity equals displacement divided by time plus direction.
What three things changed acceleration?
Slow Down
Change Direction

A. Potential increases
B. Kinetic increases
C. Mass or speed increases
D. Height or mass increases
C. Mass or speed increases
