Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity of any object with time.

Acceleration  =\frac{\bigtriangleup v}{t}

Since, speed is kept constant but direction is changed as it goes around the sharp curve and change in the direction results in acceleration as velocity is a vector quantity which depends upon magnitude as well as on direction.

Although, speed of the car is constant, for motion around the sharp curve, the direction is changing; hence the car will have acceleration.

Thus, the car has acceleration because it is changing direction as it goes around the curve.

Can someone help with this please? My teacher isnt responding to any of mine or my classmates requests for help
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

CO2 consists of individual molecules with one central carbon atom double bonded to two oxygen atoms. Silicon does not form double bonds with oxygen. CO2 is gas but SiO2 is a solid because SiO2 has a giant molecular structure. CO2 has a simple molecular structure, and because of this, CO2 is gas but SiO2 is solid at room temperature.
