What else can I help you with?
Is a car accelerating if it is going the same speed around a curve?
No, unless the driver is giving it more gas.
Can a body have constant speed and still be accelerating give example?
Yes. The simplest example is an object moving at a constant speed in a circle.
Is the velocity constant if a car is going around a curve?
No, the velocity of a car is not constant when it is going around a curve. The direction of the car's velocity is changing as it navigates the curve, even if its speed remains the same, so the velocity is not constant.
Would you consider a car turning around a corner at a constant speed to be accelerating?
It depends on which direction you are resolving the acceleration from. If you use the original direction of the car as it turns it is decelerating as the speed it is moving in that direction is decreasing. If you resolve from the direction which the car will be going towards then it is accelerating as its speed in that direction is increasing.
If a car is traveling at a constant speed but is going around a curve what can you say about the cars motion?
The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.
An ice skater glides around a rink at a constant speed of 2 ms is the skater acceleratng explain your answer?
Acceleration is change in velocity. These are vectors that have magnitude and direction. Changing either magnitude (speed) or direction will have the skater be accelerating. SO, if the skater is going at a constant speed of 2m/s in a straight line, he is not accelerating. If he is at a constant speed of 2m/s traveling in a circle (you gave the word "around"), he is accelerating. Going around in circles means there is a force constantly changing your direction. Obviously that force is coming from the skaters legs.
What is an object that has velocity and acceleration vector going the same direction?
Moving in the positive direction at an increasing speed. (Accelerating positively)
Picture a ball traveling at a constant speed around the inside of a circular structureis the ball accelerating?
If it's going at a constant speed then it is not accelerating. To accelerate would mean to have a rate of change for speed in some direction. If the ball is going outward while traveling at a constant speed due to centrifugal force then it is accelerating. If it's going inwards due to some ground angle then it is also accelerating. From Newton's laws we know that to have a circular motion, an object must be subject to a force directed to the centre of the structure and is accelerating in that direction. This centrifugal force, exerted by the structure to the ball, is opposite in direction and magnitude to the 'fictitious' centrifugal force.
When a bike goes around a curve at the same speed as it was moving on a straight road it has uniform motion this statement is true or false and because?
False. When a bike goes around a curve at the same speed as it was moving on a straight road, it is not considered uniform motion because its velocity is changing due to the direction of the motion changing as it goes around the curve. Uniform motion refers to motion at a constant speed in a straight line.
How can you accelerate if your speed does not change?
A change in the vector or direction that you are traveling is considered an acceleration; even if you don't change speed. This would be the case for going around in a merry-go-round, e.g. You are accelerating (changing direction), but the speed is constant (velocity is changing).
Does it an acceleration if you go around a corner on bycicle?
Yes, when you go around a corner on a bicycle, you are changing your direction of motion, which requires centripetal acceleration towards the center of the curve. This acceleration allows you to turn without skidding off the curve.
Why do you feel thrown to the outside when a car in which you are riding goes around a curve even though there is no force acting on you in that direction?
You are not being thrown against the car, the car is being thrown against you!!More specifically, you are continuing to go straight as no force is acting on you. As the car goes around the curve the force between the road and its tires accelerates it sideways. The car is now going in a different direction than you are, resulting in a collision between you and the car. At this point (ouch) there is a force between you and the car that accelerates you sideways also until both you and the car are again going straight in the same direction coming out of the curve.
