Because 'acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'. 
It means ANY change in motion ... speeding up, slowing down,
or changing DIRECTION.

When traveling a roundabout, or any curved path, the direction
is constantly changing even if the speed is constant, so there is
constant acceleration going on.

What's the difference between a direct relationship and a positive one?
borishaifa [10]
A positive or direct relationship is one in which the two variables (we will generally call them x and y) move together, that is, they either increase or decrease together. In a negative or indirect relationship, the two variables move in opposite directions, that is, as one increases, the other descremases

Answer:

x = 2000 Km

Explanation:

Given

y = 10 km

Slope: 1 : 200

x = ?

We can apply the formula

y / x = 1 / 200   ⇒     x = 200*y = 200*10 Km

⇒     x = 2000 Km

A student drops a ball off the top of building and records that the ball takes 3.32s to reach the ground (g = 9.8 m/s^2). What i
slega [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here's what we know because it was given to us:

a = -9.8 m/s/s and

time = 3.32 seconds

Here's what we know because we rock physics:

v₀ = 0 (because the object was held still before it was dropped).

Here's the equation that ties all that info together in a single one-dimensional equation:

v = v₀ + at

Filling in and solving for v:

v = 0 + (-9.8)(3.32) and

v = -33m/s

The velocity is negative because the object is moving downwards and up is positive (but you knew that already too!)
