Homework Statement


See attached picture!
The figure below shows a car traveling to the right at a constant speed through a dip in the road. Add vectors to the figure showing the direction of the car's velocity and acceleration.


Homework Equations


none


The Attempt at a Solution


Would the acceleration be inward of the curve, meaning the arrow would put straight up from the car for acceleration?
And would the velocity point straight out of the car to the right?
