Does a car accelerate when it goes around a corner at a constant speed?

Physics
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]4 years ago
6 0
Yes, it does. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is the rate of change of position with a given direction i.e. speed with direction.So even though the speed of the turning car is constant the velocity is not. This means that the velocity is changing, and the rate of change of velocity is called acceleration. Hence, the car is accelerating.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Shelli will most likely say that the sound produced by the resonance of a metal is affected by the frequency at which the metal is vibrated. There is a certain frequency that will create a dim sound. If the frequency is changed to the right setting, the sound will intensify.

Find the initial velocity of a ball that has a final velocity of 17.9 m/s, west after it accelerated at 63.7 m/s2, west for 0.21
Musya8 [376]

Explanation:

Taking west to be positive, given:

v = 17.9 m/s

a = 63.7 m/s²

t = 0.21 s

Find: v₀

v = at + v₀

17.9 m/s = (63.7 m/s²) (0.21 s) + v₀

v₀ = 4.52 m/s

The initial velocity is 4.52 m/s west.
