Homework Statement
a car traveling at a constant speed of 20 m/s that is initially traveling due northwast rounds a corner so that after 10s, the car is traveling due northeast. What are the magnitude and direction of the car's average acceleration during this interval of time?
Homework Equations
a= v2-v2/t
The Attempt at a Solution
i divided 20m/s/10s and got 2 m/s and used a motion diagram to get the direction to be northward. This is not right. I'm not sure how to do it because it is a constant speed, so wouldn't the velocity be -20-20/10? and that would definitely be 0, and the acceleration is not 0 becasue it is chaning direction.
