How fast an object is moving in a particular direction is described by - CORRECT
ANSWER Velocity
Acceleration occurs when an object undergoes - CORRECT ANSWER A speed
increase, a speed decrease, a change in the direction of travel
for motion to occur, what must happen? - CORRECT ANSWER a change in position,
a change in time
