The acceleration is 10 m/s^2 because her velocity did not change.

The acceleration is 10 m/s^2 because her velocity increased.
The acceleration is 10 m/s^2 because her velocity increased.

The acceleration is 0 m/s^2 because her velocity did not change.
The acceleration is 0 m/s^2 because her velocity did not change.

The acceleration is 0 m/s^2 because her velocity increased.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

The acceleration is 0 m/s² because her velocity did not change.

Since Samantha is running at a constant speed of 10 meters per second and not changing her direction, her acceleration is zero. Acceleration occurs when there is a change in velocity, either in speed or direction.
