I am stumped. A car is driving North-West on the highway. It has a speed of 20 m/s with the cruise control on. Ten seconds later, the car is heading North-East (still going 20 m/s). Determine a) the acceleration of the car. b) The displacement of the car during the turn

OpenStudy (owen3):

I was able to find the average acceleration, but I could not find the displacement. We can't use the 4 kinematic equations because acceleration is not constant here.

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

you should think about posting the original question. it seems that maybe the car is moving in a circle at constant speed? *with cruise control* is a hint
