Calculate the uniform acceleration of an object travel in 3.0 s accelerating at 5.0 m/s2 forward, if its initial velocity is 2.0 m/s.
Explain how you accelerated your car by turning the steering wheel whilemaintaining a constant speed.
In uniform circular motion, the acceleration is perpendicular to the velocity at every instant. Describe is this true when the motion is not uniform—that is, when the speed is not constant?
