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

Physics

raketka [301]3 years ago

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.

If a spear is jabbeb exactly at that place where the fish appears in water, the fish is not killed
Korvikt [17]

You have learned your lesson well, Suhay. Your statement is correct.

The light rays from the fish BEND when they flow out of the water into the air. But our primitive brain still believes that the light rays flow STRAIGHT from the fish. The result is that the fish does not APPEAR to be at that place where it really is.
