can you go around a curve with zero acceleration? Explain
Added by Joshua K.
Step 1
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. In other words, it is the change in velocity over time. When we go around a curve, we are changing direction, which means we are changing our velocity. Show more…
