What is the difference between velocity and acceleration? A. Velocity describes an object's position and acceleration describes how fast it moves. B. Velocity is how fast an object moves and acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. C. Velocity is used to determine the magnitude of force acting on an object, and acceleration isn't. D. Velocity is a time-dependent property of an object, while acceleration is not.
