ANSWER THIS QUESTION! Consider the car driving around a circular track. Once started, the driver maintains a speed of 45 m/h. Compare the driver's velocity with his acceleration in this case. A) The car is accelerating because it is changing direction but the velocity is constant. B) The car is traveling at a constant rate of speed so it is not accelerating and the velocity does not change. C) Acceleration is the change in velocity so the car is experiencing a change in velocity and it is accelerating. D) The car is traveling at a constant rate of speed so it is not accelerating but the velocity changes because the direction the car travels is constantly changing.

Step 1
Velocity is a vector quantity that refers to the rate at which an object changes its position, considering both speed and direction. Acceleration, on the other hand, is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. This can involve changes in speed, direction, Show more…

Cars A, B, and C are traveling counterclockwise at the same constant speed around the track shown below. Interpret the diagram and answer the question below. What car will change velocity first? A. A B. B C. C D. There would be no change in velocity if the speed is constant. Cars A, B, and C are on the track shown below. Interpret the diagram and determine which car will change velocity first?

A car drives at a constant speed over a small hill in the road. (Often these small hills of pavement are called a "speed hump" and are used to keep the car's speed under the posted speed limit.) Treating the car as a point particle, what is the direction of the car's acceleration when it reaches the top of the hill? Assume the profile of the hill is part of a circle. there is no acceleration since the car moves at constant speed straight down in the direction of travel straight up opposite to the direction of travel

A person is driving a car down a straight road. The instantaneous acceleration is constant and directed opposite the direction of the car's motion. The speed of the car is A. increasing. B. decreasing. C. constant. D. increasing but will eventually decrease. E. decreasing but will eventually increase.
