Josh sits in a moving bus. As he looks out the window, another bus is moving right next to his. When he looks again, the other bus is slightly in front of his. Which of the following is true? a. The other bus is moving slower than Josh's bus. b. The other bus is moving with the same speed as Josh's bus. c. The other bus is moving faster than Josh's bus.
What is, c. The other bus is moving faster than Josh's bus.
300
The rate at which velocity changes.
What is acceleration?
300
The formulas for acceleration is...
What is, acceleration=final velocity - initial velocity/time. a = vf - vi / t
