A man is walking at a velocity of 3 miles per hour to the west. A woman is walking at a velocity of 3 miles per hour to the east. Are they traveling at the same velocity?
No, because they are traveling in different directions.
If an object increases its speed, is it accelerating?
yes

yes
A motorcycle increases its speed from 8 m/s to 30 m/s in 9 seconds. What is the acceleration of the motorcycle? (Please round to the nearest hundredth)
2.44 m/s2
What is the change in velocity over time called?
acceleration
what is the formula for acceleration?
(final velocity - initial velocity) / time
If an object is moving at a constant speed but changes its direction, is it accelerating?
yes
Is acceleration a vector quantity or a scalar quantity?
Vector quantity, because it has magnitude and direction.
