A car is moving at a constant velocity and makes a turn to the left. Has the acceleration of the car changed? Why or why not?
Will the acceleration of a truck be the same when it travels around a sharp curve at a constant speed of 50 mi/h as when it travels around a gentle curve at the same speed? Explain.
A car is traveling south at 30 km/h. it rounds a curve, and 6 s later it is traveling west at 30 km/h. the magnitude of the average acceleration of the car is: (the answer is 7.1 km/h s )
I have the answer, but PLEASE show how to get it in step by step detail/explain how ( it's an exam review question but I don't know why that's the answer)
