Is it true that acceleration occurs when there is a change in speed

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

Explanation: For example, acceleration is measured in m/2^2 or meters per second squared. That can also be split up into 2 components. M/s is how speed is measured, and since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, m/(s*s). You could say that since acceleration is m/s^2, it can also be represented as how much the speed increases over 1 second. if there was an acceleration of 3 m/s^2, the rate of change of speed would be 3m/s every second, meaning that the object would speed up 3m/s every second that passes by.

Hope this helps!

answer would be letter choice (a),   a ball resting on a shelf. would be another example of potential energy   >   stored energy > not moving.

a ball spinning on a finger   >   kinetic energy > moving energy

a ball rolling on the ground   >   kinetic energy   > moving energy

a   ball flying through the air   > kinetic energy   >   moving energy

hope that                                         : )

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
