Question

the gas pedal, the brakes, and the steering wheel all have the ability to accelerate a car—how? gas pedal
change direction
increase speed
decrease speed
all of the above
brakes
change direction
increase speed
decrease speed
all of the above
steering wheel
change direction
increase speed
decrease speed
all of the above

Explanation:

Gas Pedal:

The gas pedal (accelerator) is used to increase the speed of the car by supplying more fuel to the engine, which in turn increases the car's velocity (a form of acceleration as acceleration includes change in speed or direction). So the correct option is "increase speed".

Brakes are used to apply a force that opposes the motion of the car, thereby decreasing its speed (negative acceleration as it reduces the speed). So the correct option is "decrease speed".

The steering wheel is used to change the direction of the car's motion. By turning the steering wheel, the car's path (direction) is altered, which is also a form of acceleration (since acceleration is a vector quantity involving change in velocity, including direction). So the correct option is "change direction".

Answer:

B. increase speed (assuming the options are labeled as A. change direction, B. increase speed, C. decrease speed, D. all of the above)

Brakes:
