Technically the truth
-
It accelerates laterally. The brake though, decelerates (-ve acceleration) but only until v=zero after which it doesn't decelerate any more.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]No, the steering wheel does not accelerate laterally. It just changes the direction of the front wheels which dictate the direction in which a vehicle is accelerated.
RCS thrusters for example are accelerators. A steering wheel is not.
Would the steering wheel have the accelerating wheel on the side of the car it is supposed to turn slow down (like how track tanks turn) it would be an accelerator.

When you turn the wheel, do you feel a g-force to the side? If yes, you’re accelerating.

Changing direction is not acceleration. You also experience inertia when changing directions.

According to this physics website you're wrong
An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.
Velocity =/= speed
A change in direction is a change in velocity

Guess my physics professors back at university were wrong then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Your lateral velocity is changing. Change in velocity = acceleration. In fact, you’re now traveling in a circle, which requires constant acceleration towards the center.

Did your physics professor say "velocity == speed"? Because if so, yes he was

You need to revisit the concept of centripetal acceleration. You are remembering incorrectly. Any change in the velocity vector is acceleration. That can be magnitude and/or direction.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]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 inacceleration.Even better, you can experience this directly - turn the wheel abruptly at a moderate speed - what you feel is called acceleration.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Changing 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.

Acceleration is required to change the direction young padawan

Maybe it was a one-dimensional physics professor

If they said that, yes, they were.

Face it, planets are hanging from the celestial ceiling - on wires. Galilei's herecy has been debunked. The end is nigh! Eat more sawdust! Ahoohaa!

My dude, velocity is a vector, if you accelerate a body in a perpendicular direction to its velocity, its velocity will change direction, but not magnitude.
Grab a yoyo, start spinning it around. You are constantly accelerating it towards your hand. If you stopped and let it loose, it would move in a straight line and break the window and mom would be sad.
No acceleration means constant speed in a straight line. If it does not go with constant speed in a straight line, it's being accelerated.

Yeah I think the guy above you has an argument though. The steering wheel only acts as an accelerator if the vehicle is actually in motion. But then the brake also does that, so maybe there is a point in naming them differently.
