True or False: You are standing at the bus stop and not moving at all. Since you are not moving, your acceleration would be 0 (zero). Support with how you know.
True since you are not speeding up, slowing down or changing directions.
True since you are traveling no distance in a certain amount of time.
False since you are speeding up, slowing down and/or changing directions.
False since you were going to get on a moving bus.
