How many ""accelerators"" do you have in your car? There are three ways to change the velocity of a car and there are three corresponding controls in the car that allow you to make each of these changes. What are the three different controls and what kind of acceleration does each one produce? Remember to think both about changes to the magnitude of acceleration and to the direction of acceleration.

Answer:

The three "accelerators" are: the throttle, the steering wheel and the brakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration means change in velocity. But this change may be in module or in direction.

Car throttle will increase the velocity module of the car and brakes wil diminish it. On the other hand, the steering wheel will change the direction of the velocity.

Hope my answer helps you. Have a nive day!
