A 2,500 kg car moves at 15 m/s squared, 15 m/s squared is the ?

a-acceleration
b- force
c- velocity
d-speed

My answer is speed

The meter per second squared is the unit of Acceleration. My answer is a, acceleration.

thank you

Was it A?

Actually, the correct term for a quantity that represents how fast an object is moving is velocity, not speed. Speed refers to the magnitude of velocity, without considering the direction of motion. In this case, the 15 m/s² represents the acceleration of the car, which indicates the rate at which the car's velocity is changing over time. Therefore, the correct answer would be: c- velocity.
