Question

When a car goes around a curve at a constant speed, in which direction is it accelerating?

Answer 1

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Toward the center of the curve

think about it....when you are in a car and accelerate FORWARD, you are pushed BACK...opposite the accel

when you are going around a curve you are pushed to the outside of the curve...opposite the accel which is toward the center of the curve

Answer 2

Answer: towards the centre of the curve/circle

Step-by-step explanation:

centripetal force always points towards the centre of the circle. the speed stays constant, but the direction of motion changes as the object moves across the curve, therefore there is an acceleration.
