What else can I help you with?
Why are you accelerating when you go around a corner at a constant speed?
Acceleration is any change in velocity. It could be a change in speed or direction. Technically, even slowing down is acceleration.
CAN AN Object accelerate and be moving at a constant speed?
Yes, it's direction may be constantly changing which would mean it is still accelerating.
For a car moving around a circular track at a constant speed the acceleration is?
constant speed=0 acceleration Acceleration is the change in speed. If the speed doesn't change(ie constant) the acceleration is zero.
Can a car travel around a track at a constant speed?
Yes.
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.
Does the moon accelerate as it revolves around it?
No, the moon does not accelerate as it revolves around Earth. Its speed remains relatively constant as it follows its elliptical orbit.
Can a particale accelerate if its speed is canstant?
No, a particle cannot accelerate if its speed is constant. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and if the speed (magnitude of velocity) remains constant, then the acceleration is zero.
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.
Does light accelerate?
Light does not accelerate in the traditional sense, as it always travels at a constant speed of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. This speed is a fundamental constant in physics known as the speed of light.
Does an object accelerate if it moves in a straight line at constant speed?
no
Can an object accelerate and have a constant speed at the same time?
No, an object cannot accelerate and have a constant speed at the same time. Acceleration is a change in velocity, which includes speed or direction. If an object has a constant speed, it means there is no acceleration occurring.
How can a car accelerate if its speed is constant?
A car can accelerate even if its speed is constant by changing its direction or increasing its velocity. For example, if a car is moving in a circle, it is constantly changing its direction, resulting in acceleration. Additionally, if a car is moving at a constant speed and then speeds up, it is also accelerating.
How could an object accelerate was still traveling at a constant speed?
An object can accelerate while still traveling at a constant speed if it changes direction. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so even if the speed remains constant, a change in direction would still require acceleration.
Why does a car traveling at constant speed can accelerate while a car at constant velocity connot?
The question is inherantly flawed. A car traveling at a constant speed cannot accelerate, if it could it's speed would not be constant. "Constant speed" means that speed is not increasing or decreasing but remain consistent over time. For example, if you cover 10 feet during each second, your speed is constant. "Constant velocity" implies constant speed, but it has an additional constraint: you can't change your direction. If you travel constantly at 10 feet per second in a straight line, then your speed is constant and your velocity is constant. But if you travel constantly at 10 feet per second in a wiggly line (or a circle, or anything not straight), then your speed is constant but your velocity is NOT constant. If you travel at a constant speed but change direction, velocity is changed. Or if you travel in the same direction but change the speed, velocity is changed. Average speed is is easier: distance/time So, your question should read: Why can a car traveling at an average speed accelerate, but a car traveling at constant speed cannot? Or Why am I asking the wrong questions?
Do you have to change speed in order to accelerate?
Yes, in order to accelerate, you need to change your speed. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, so increasing or decreasing your speed is necessary to accelerate in a specific direction.
What did skis improve in alpine skiing?
The carving shape coming from snowboarding to make more fluent turns so you can keep your speed quiet constant in a corner and are able to accelerate when coming out a turn.
What is the best way to drive around a curve?
Close to the inside. As you head into the corner, break slightly (depending on your speed) and then at the middle of the curve, accelerate out of the curve.
