Hi all!I am studying for MCAT physics and have couple of questions (see topic title).
Please see the pictures attached. (Pardon my art skills).
In the first scenario, a is perpendicular to v. Does that mean that object will move same direction as a, but with constant speed, since acceleration (a) has no x component?
In the second scenario, object will move NE, same direction as a, but its speed will increase, since acceleration a has an x component. Is that right?
Thanks in advance!
