Final answer:

Crossing the finish line involves acceleration due to a change in direction, even if speed decreases.


Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity, which includes a change in magnitude or direction. When crossing the finish line, although speed may decrease, the direction of motion is changing, indicating acceleration. In cases like turning a corner, even with a constant speed, the change in direction demonstrates acceleration.
