An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.
Velocity =/= speed
A change in direction is a change in velocity
My dude, velocity is a vector, if you accelerate a body in a perpendicular direction to its velocity, its velocity will change direction, but not magnitude.
Grab a yoyo, start spinning it around. You are constantly accelerating it towards your hand. If you stopped and let it loose, it would move in a straight line and break the window and mom would be sad.
No acceleration means constant speed in a straight line. If it does not go with constant speed in a straight line, it's being accelerated.
Guess my physics professors back at university were wrong then ¯(ツ)/¯
It accelerates laterally. The brake though, decelerates (-ve acceleration) but only until v=zero after which it doesn't decelerate any more.
No, the steering wheel does not accelerate laterally. It just changes the direction of the front wheels which dictate the direction in which a vehicle is accelerated.
RCS thrusters for example are accelerators. A steering wheel is not.
Would the steering wheel have the accelerating wheel on the side of the car it is supposed to turn slow down (like how track tanks turn) it would be an accelerator.
BRAKE
IT’S SPELLED BRAKE
B-R-A-K-E
FUCK
Did this meme brake your brain?
It's an Alfa Romeo it's spelled correctly.
No nead to frake out about it.
Why would you spell the brake pedal in this automatic car as CLUTCH?
