Acceleration is a change of velocity. Velocity is a vector, in which both the
magnitude and the direction is relevant. If the direction changes, it is no longer
the same velocity. Equivalently, you can separate the velocity into an x-component
and a y-component (and a z-component, if the problem involves three dimensions).
Two velocities are considered to be equivalent only if all components are the same.
=============================
Answer #1.5 :
One of the keys to answering the question is to point out that "acceleration"
does NOT mean "speeding up", which, unfortunately, is the way that virtually
everybody uses that word.
It may have all started when the auto industry decided to call the gas pedal the
'accelerator'. That's just my conjecture. I could be wrong.

Is there any difference between angular acceleration and radial acceleration?
Yes. A ngular acceleration is to do with something turning. Radial acceleration is linear acceleration perpendicular to the angular acceleration.
What are 2 types of acceleration?
-- slowing down -- turning a corner
Explain why the slowing down of a moving object is considered to be a form of acceleration?
Acceleration is the change of velocity, with direction. Therefore slowing down is a change in veolcity, so is considered to be acceleration (just negative acceleration).
What occurs any time an object speeds up or slows down or changes direction?
Acceleration. Acceleration is change in velocity. Velocity is its speed and direction. So when one of these things changes, it is undergoing acceleration. Acceleration can be the object speeding up, slowing down, turning right, turning left, etc. Deceleration is lowering the rate of change. You are experiencing no change if you are moving in a straight line at a constant speed.
Why at a constant speed if an object changes its direction it is considered to be acceleration?
Acceleration is a direction plus a speed. If either changes then the acceleration changes.
Is there a way to improve the speed of a 1996 Mazda B3000?
You could try using the overdrive function located on the center of the shift stick. Turning it on works for faster acceleration/revs, turning it off you will have normal acceleration and normal revs.
Can velocity of an object be zero at the same instant its acceleration is not zero?
Yes. For example a swinging pendulum has zero velocity at the turning point but acceleration is not zero.
What are 3 ways acceleration apply to diving?
Speeding up, slowing down, and turning.
When will you say a body is in uniform acceleration?
uniform acceleration mean that the acceleration doesn't change over the course of time of the time considered for a certain
Why slowing down of an object is considered to be form of acceleration?
Acceleration - as defined in physics - means "change of velocity".
What are the symptoms of cv joint?
Snapping and cracking noises especially under acceleration and while turning.
Do you have velocity if you are turning?
You would not have velocity. because you do not have any displacement. You do have Acceleration because your direction is changing.
