      Doubt it, I’m going to go out on a limb and say either you didn’t take university physics or you weren’t paying attention, because like the other commenters said this isn’t even university-level physics knowledge, it’s highschool.

      Yes he was. You should ask for your money back. I don’t know how you’d complete even intro physics getting this wrong, as the formulas all depend on it.

      This is like high school physics - change in direction is a change in acceleration.

      Even better, you can experience this directly - turn the wheel abruptly at a moderate speed - what you feel is called acceleration.
