Question

Why can acceleration include only a change in direction?

Answer 1

HEYA!!!!

Here's is the answer.

The statements

A,C,D aren't justified coz

.A change in direction of speed is called velocity.

Which implies that velocity is a vector quantity.
Hence having direction as well as
speed .So,The correct answer seems to be B)

HOPE IT WORKS OUT........

Answer 2

First we shall look at some terms:

Velocity - frequency of change of an objects position.

Acceleration - frequency of change of an objects velocity

Since velocity covers both change in direction and speed, we can asume that the answer is B, not because it's the only one we worked with, but because the others don't make any sense:

A - this is not correct, because a chnage in direction can be done withough a change in speed.

C - The scientific definition of acceleration does include speed, and this is not a reasonable answer.

D - Velocity can change, unlike said in the sentence.

Hope it helped,
