Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 15RQ
You are at a red light in your car. The red light turns green, and you take your foot off the brake and step on the gas pedal, without turning the steering wheel. The speedometer changes from 0 to 20 mph in 3 seconds. In those 3 seconds, did the car change velocity? Is that an acceleration? Now, at a constant speed of 20 mph, you make a right turn. Is that an acceleration?
