Here's a breakdown:
* Speed: How fast an object is moving.
* Direction: The path an object is traveling.
* Acceleration: The rate at which an object's speed or direction changes over time.
Examples:
* A car speeding up from a stop sign is accelerating.
* A car slowing down to a stop is also accelerating (in this case, it's decelerating).
* A car turning a corner is accelerating because its direction is changing, even if its speed remains constant.
