How is the scientific meaning of acceleration different from how we use the term acceleration in everyday life?

Physics

Most people think that "acceleration" means "speeding up". 
(Maybe you use the word that way.  I don't.)
I think this comes from the gas pedal in the car being called
the "accelerator".

The real meaning of "acceleration" is: any change in motion ...
speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction even if speed
doesn't change.

Could a car drive on a frictionless surface? Explain using the terms action
Julli [10]

Answer:

No, it cannot. The car needs the friction of the surface to drive because the car pushes the surface backwards, and the surfaces makes a reaction force pushing the car forward, and that works because of the friction. In a frictionless surface the tires would rotate in the same place

21N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of wagon = 14kg

Acceleration = 1.5m/s²

Unknown:

Net force on wagon = ?

Solution:

Force is a pull or push on a body that causes a body to change its state. It is expressed as:  

                 Force = mass  x acceleration

  Force on wagon = 14 x 1.5 = 21N
