Answer #1

Car has turned by 90°

Velocity is vector quantity so substraction of quantity should be done by law of vector addition.

Magnitude of Change in velocity is given by

  

(Since cos90° =0)

14.97 m/s

Magnitude of average acceleration is given by

= 14.97/32

= 0.468

Suppose you have a car traveling down the road at constant speed and not changing direction. It is experiencing gravity, wind resistance and frictional forces from the road. What can be said about the car's acceleration? Group of answer choices It is not accelerating because it has constant velocity. It accelerating because the motor is running, propelling the car forward. It is accelerating because there are forces acting on it. It is not accelerating because gravity holds it down.
