An object that is accelerating may be ____
A
speeding up
B
slowing down
C
turning around
D
all of these answers
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An object can accelerate in one of three ways: by changing velocity, changing direction, or changing both velocity and direction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. This means that if an object’s velocity is increasing or decreasing, then the object is accelerating. Unlike an object moving at a constant velocity, an accelerating object will not have a constant change in position every second.

Detailed explanation-3: -Objects can accelerate, or change their rate of velocity, in one of three ways. They can accelerate as a result of a change in speed. They can accelerate in response to a change in direction. Finally, they can accelerate as a result of changes in both speed and direction.

Detailed explanation-4: -acceleration, rate at which velocity changes with time, in terms of both speed and direction. A point or an object moving in a straight line is accelerated if it speeds up or slows down. Motion on a circle is accelerated even if the speed is constant, because the direction is continually changing.
