When a car goes around a corner at 20 mph, why do we say it  accelerates?

• The car is accelerating because of the velocity is constant
• The car accelerates because it's going 20 mph
• Cars always accelerate when they are in motion
• The car is accelerating because it's changing direction

Why does a car accelerate as it round a corner at a constant speed?

• Its direction changes
• It doesn't
• It slows down
• Its speeds up  

Acceleration only takes place when things speed up. 

• True
• False

Acceleration can be classified as _______________

• Speeding up
• Slowing Down
• Changing directions
• All of the above
