==============================
You are jogging around an oval track at 2 m/s when you saw your classmates also jogging at 2 m/s in the opposite direction.
Were your speeds equal?_______ (Yes/No)
Yes, both of us were running at the same speed which is 2 m/s.
Were your velocities equal?_______ (Yes/No)
No, we may have the same speed but we have different directions. If I ran clockwise (2m/s), then my classmates ran counterclockwise (-2m/s).
Were you accelerating? Why or why not? (explain)
Yes, if we change the direction or the velocity, we are accelerating. Like turning from North to East or running in a curve path like an oval track.
