minus-squareOnomatopoeia@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-22 days agoChanging direction by definition is an acceleration. If it wasn’t, then all our math about planets, rockets getting to planets, etc, would be wrong. A steering wheel could be called a “centripetal accelerator”, since it induces acceleration toward the center of a radius/circle. This is high school level physics, one of the first things you learn. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/centripetal-acceleration/
