Problem

Consider the following three car motions: A. Speeds up in a straight line from

10\,\text{m/s}

20\,\text{m/s}

4.0\,\text{s}

. B. Travels at a constant

15\,\text{m/s}

around a circular path of radius

30\,\text{m}

. C. Slows down in a straight line from

20\,\text{m/s}

10\,\text{m/s}

4.0\,\text{s}

. Rank the magnitude of the acceleration for motions A, B, and C from greatest to least, using “>” for greater than and “=” for equal, and explain your ranking in one brief sentence.
