Yes, the degree of a curve can affect acceleration. In a curve with a higher degree, the change in direction is sharper, which can lead to higher acceleration as the vehicle needs to adjust its speed to navigate the curve effectively. In contrast, curves with lower degrees may require less acceleration due to their more gradual changes in direction.

When a car rounds a curve it's acceleration is zero?

Actually, a car always accelerates on a curve. This is because acceleration, like the velocity it alters, is a vector that has both magnitude and direction. Since taking a curve involves a change of direction, there must be an acceleration to alter the direction; otherwise, the car can only continue straight.


How can you find the retardation of a curve in a speed time graph?

Calculate the gradient of the curve which will give the acceleration. Change the sign of the answer to convert acceleration into retardation.


How do you calculate speed moving around the curve?

To calculate the speed of an object moving around a curve, you can use the centripetal acceleration formula: (a = v^2 / r), where (a) is the centripetal acceleration, (v) is the speed of the object, and (r) is the radius of the curve. To find the speed ((v)), you need to know the radius of the curve and the centripetal acceleration acting on the object.


What is velocity-time curve?

The graph of velocity-time is the acceleration.


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.


How acceleration effect gravity?

Acceleration does not effect gravity. It is rather the other way round. Gravity can affect the rate of acceleration.


Is a car that follows a gentle curve in the road an example of acceleration?

If the vehicle is gaining speed on that gentle curve, yes. Otherwise, no.


What is instantaneous accerlation?

that is acceleration at a particular point in time. If acceleration is changing with time, it is the slope of the velocity vs. time curve.


What occurs when a object travels in a curved path?

Acceleration


What does the slope of the tangent to the curve on a velocity-time graph measure?

The slope of the tangent to the curve on a velocity-time graph represents the acceleration of an object. Positive slope indicates acceleration in the positive direction, negative slope indicates acceleration in the negative direction, and zero slope indicates constant velocity.


What does the slope of a tangent to the curve of a velocity-time graph measure?

the slope of a tangent to the curve of a V vs T graph is acceleration at that point in time. the derivative of the function for the V vs T graph would be the function for acceleration at any given time


What does the slope of the curve on a velocity time graph represent?

The rate of Change in acceleration.
