Question

A train is resting on a track when another train with several more cars bumps it and causes it to move forward 10 meters. This is an example of acceleration because:

Answer 1

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s².

We say that there is acceleration if there is a change of distance or change in velocity (increase or decrease) or both.

The statement above is an example of acceleration because there is a change in velocity. The velocity when the motor was at rest was 0, but an increase in acceleration caused the train to move a distance of 10 meters.
