Question
Chapter 3.1, Problem 11SSC
To determine
The three ways in which an object can accelerate.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The rate of change of velocity is known as acceleration.
Velocity is a vector quantity; it has both magnitude and direction.
To Find the three ways an object can accelerate,
- An object can accelerate by changing its speed.
- An object can accelerate by changing its direction.
- An object can accelerate by changing both its speed and direction.
