Question
Chapter 5, Problem 1CQ
To determine
Whether depressing the “accelerator” of a car is the only way to make the car accelerate.
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1CQ
No. Application of breaks and making turns of the car also makes the car accelerates.
Explanation of Solution
The rate of change of velocity of an object is known as the acceleration. When there is a rate of change in the velocity in a car then the car is accelerating.
When the driver depresses the accelerator the car accelerates. If the break of the car is applied there will be a rate of change of velocity for the car. Thus, when the break is applied also the car accelerates. When car turns also makes the car accelerates by changing the vector velocity.

A filmmaker wants to achieve an interesting visual effect by filming a scene through a converging lens with a
focal length of 50.0 m. The lens is placed betwen the camera and a horse, which canters toward the camera
at a constant speed of 7.9 m/s. The camera starts rolling when the horse is 36.0 m from the lens. Find the
average speed of the image of the horse (a) during the first 2.0 s after the camera starts rolling and (b)
during the following 2.0 s.
