question: The gas pedal and the brakes of a car are used to change the velocity by accelerating the car or decelerating it. Could a steering wheel perform either of these two actions? Explain.
P.s: Of course velocity is a vector quantity and if the direction of car change there is an acceleration. But I think in the question "accelerating" word meanings the speed up and "decelerating" word meanings slowing down (as you know). So my answer is No ( neglecting some advance interactions for the high school curriculum).
Ps: I'm a non-native English speakers Physics teacher.
thanks
