Which of the following represents a case in which you are not accelerating? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following represents a case in which you are not accelerating? Slamming on the brakes to come to a stop at a stop sign. Going from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 10 seconds. Driving 100 kilometers per hour around a curve. Driving in a straight line at 100 kilometers per hour.

Answer 1

(3) Driving in a straight line at 100 kilometers per hour

Explanation:

let us see each at a time.

(1) Slaming on the brakes causes the speed to become 0units/sec and car comses to rest. the car experiences deceleration (negative acceleration), we can role this one out.

(2) Going from 0 to 100Kilometers per hour, speed increases from 0 to 100km/s in 10 seconds that is acceleration. we can rule this one out.

(3) Driving in a straight line with 100km/hour velocity, here we have constant velocity and there is no acceleration so in this case we are not accelerating.
