What Are 3 Driver-Operated Controls That Cause Acceleration in an Automobile?

[ErrorProxy]

1. The problem
Remember that acceleration is a change in velocity. There are 3 driver-operated controls in an automobile that will cause the automobile to accelerate.


2. The attempt at a solution
Is it axis of rotation, tangential speed, and uniform circular motion?

Accelleration is change in velocity.

Velocity is a vector, and hence has both direction and magnitude. Magnitude of velocity is another name for "speed".

So, what three controls allow you to change either direction or speed?

This is pretty easy, by the way, so don't look for any tricks in the question.

Dang it. So it's just brake, accelerator, and steering wheel..
