What else can I help you with?
Why is an object traveling at a constant speed but turning left said to be accelerating?
Acceleration is not a change in speed, but a change in velocity. Velocity is, unlike speed, a vector, and so as the direction of velocity changes there must be an acceleration to cause that change.
Your dodge Dakota is making a clicking noise only when accelerating What is it?
Its usually a U joint. Click under acceleration . While turning,a CV joint. Grinding or moaning is usually a bearing.
How can a car be travelling at a constant speed yet be be accelerating?
A car can be traveling at a constant speed but still be accelerating if its direction changes. Acceleration is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. So, even if the car maintains a constant speed along a curved path, it is still accelerating due to the change in its direction.
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.
What is an example of an accelerating object but moves in a constant speed?
An object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is accelerating because its direction of motion is changing. The object is not speeding up or slowing down but is constantly changing its direction, which results in acceleration towards the center of the circle.
If a car travels at a constant speed is it accelerating?
No. Acceleration is the change in velocity(speed) over a period time.=====================================Another contributor bristled:Sorry. Velocity and speed are not two different words for the same thing.Velocity means speed and direction, and acceleration means any change in velocity.If the speed is constant but the direction is changing ... like turning a corner or drivingon a circular track ... then velocity is changing, and there is acceleration.
Can an object be accelerated if it has a constant speed?
Yes. Acceleration means either speed or direction is changing. If direction is changing,then that's acceleration, even if speed is constant.
What sort of caster boards are there?
well there are the hi tide caster boards which aren't good at accelerating, the vigor caster board, and the original ripstik which is the best due to its kick tail and nose tail, easy acceleration and well turning. I'd get the ripstik.
When an object is turning a corner what direction is the acceleration?
The acceleration of an object turning a corner is directed towards the center of the circle that the object is moving along. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration and is responsible for changing the direction of the object's velocity, keeping it moving in a curved path.
If a car turns right can acceleration be zero?
No, any turning object undergoes acceleration because the direction is always changing. The acceleration vector points into the circle of rotation, and the velocity vector is a tangent line to the circle at any given point. The equation is Centripetal Acceleration=v^2/r
Accelerate without speed changing?
First of all, "acceleration" does not mean "speeding up". It means: any change inthe speed or the direction of motion.When the driver hits the gas or the brake on a straight road, there is acceleration,because the speed of the car is changing.When the car goes around any bend in the road, even if its speed is constant,there is acceleration, because its direction is changing.
What causes a grinding sound when turning and a whining sound when accelerating?
possibly your wheel bearing is on its way out
