Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm learning about motion in physics class and I was wondering, what is velocity?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position, including both speed and direction. It's a measure of how fast an object is moving and in which direction.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
That makes sense. What about acceleration? Is it the same as velocity?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
No, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. It's a measure of how quickly an object's velocity is changing, either by speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.<|im_end|>

Okay, I think I understand now. What force causes an object to accelerate?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
According to Newton's second law of motion, a force applied to an object causes it to accelerate. The more force applied, the more the object will accelerate.<|im_end|>
