An object is moving in such a way that the velocity is changing (only direction is changing, but
magnitude is same) all the time. Is it possible to get acceleration from that motion? If yes, give
an example. .
72. Go The data in the following table represent the initial and final ve-
locities for a boat traveling along the r axis. The elapsed time for each
of the four pairs of velocities in the table is 2.0 s. Review the concept of
average acceleration in Section 2.3 and then determine the average accel-
eration (magnitude and direction) for each of the four pairs. Note that the
algebraic sign of your answers will convey the direction.
