What else can I help you with?
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 moving around a curve without changing speed accelerating?
Yes. Even though its speed doesn't change, its velocity does change, therefore it is accelerating.
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.
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.
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.
If a car is traveling 30MPH around a curve is it accelerating?
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.
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.
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.
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.
What is the acceleration of a car that is going at a steady speed of 74 mph?
If something is traveling at a "steady" speed, it can't be accelerating.
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 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.
