Think of something from everyday life that follows a two-dimensional path. It could be a kicked football, a bus that's turning a corner, or a person jogging around a track, etc. Describe your scenario in detail, and then identify the acceleration at each point. When is the acceleration vector not aligned with the direction of travel

Let us consider the case of a bus turning around a corner with a constant velocity, as the bus approaches the corner, the velocity at say point A is Va, and is tangential to the curve with direction pointing away from the curve. Also, the velocity at another point say point B is Vb and is also tangential to the curve with direction pointing away from the curve. Although the velocity at point A and the velocity at point B have the same magnitude, their directions are different (velocity is a vector quantity), and hence we have a change in velocity. By definition, an acceleration occurs when we have a change in velocity, so the bus experiences an acceleration at the corner whose direction is away from the center of the corner.

The acceleration is not aligned with the direction of travel because the change in velocity is at a tangent (directed away) to the direction of travel of the bus.

f=ma a/f/m a= 480/60 a = 8m/s/s that is quick wow

nah.   i'm just sleepy.
