Yes and No. No in the sense that the speed is not changing. What you are feeling is the change in direction as the car rounds the turn, an effect called centripetal acceleration.

Is a car moving around a curve without changing speed accelerating?

Yes. Even though its speed doesn't change, its velocity does change, therefore it is accelerating.


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 a car accelerating if it is going the same speed around a curve?

No, unless the driver is giving it more gas.

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.


When a car travel around a curve in the road what helps to keep the car traveling in a curved path?

the force that the car has acting on it counteract in a perfect balance with the forces acting against it.


What does the worldline of an object that is accelerating away from you look like on a spacetime diagram?

On a spacetime diagram, the worldline of an object accelerating away from you would appear as a curve that slopes upwards and to the right, indicating the object's increasing distance from you over time.


Due to the Coriolis effect winds traveling from Florida to Maine curve?

The Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere, so winds traveling from Florida to Maine will appear to curve eastward. This is due to the rotation of the Earth, which deflects freely moving objects to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.


How can a car slowing down also be accelerating?

A car can be slowing down while still accelerating if its speed is decreasing but the direction of its velocity is changing. For example, if a car is moving in a curve, its speed may be decreasing but it is still accelerating towards the center of the turn. This is known as centripetal acceleration.


Does a car accelerate rounding a curve at a constant speed?

No, a car does not accelerate when rounding a curve at a constant speed. Acceleration occurs when there is a change in speed or direction. In this case, the car is moving at a constant speed but is changing direction, not accelerating.
