13.5.17 Q The speedometer on your car reads a steady 35 mph. Could you be accelerating? Explain. Choose the correct answer and explanation. A. Yes. If the car is moving along a curved path (K ± 0), then an = K |v2 + 0 and a = a-T + anN #0. B. No. The car is not accelerating if the speed is constant. C. No. If the car is moving along a curved path (K= 0), then an =K |v|2 = 0 and a = a-T+anN = 0. D. Yes. On a curved path, the velocity always changes in magnitude, but it may or may not change in direction, which means that the acceleration of an object moving on a curved path can never be zero.
