Is it an accelerator? Or is it a jerk pedal? Technically the gas pedal controls the change in acceleration, right?
I definitely have friends
Technically the gas pedal controls the change in acceleration, right?
Technically it controls the amount of air and/or fuel delivered to the engine (in a gas engine, the pedal directly controls airflow; in a diesel engine it directly controls fuel flow)
Acceleration in physics terms just means a change in velocity. Velocity is speed in a given direction. The steering wheel, gas pedal, and brake pedal all accelerate the vehicle.

They definitely know that, given that they know that change in acceleration is called jerk
Increasing speed -> acceleration Decreasing speed -> negative acceleration Changing direction -> Vector acceleration(change in velocity)
Brake.
Petrol. Gas isn’t even a gas.

No, one of them is the “don’t accelerate” pedal you use to switch gears.
You’re applying acceleration to the gear switcher
I think that car has a dead pedal, otherwise that is the fattest clutch pedal I have seen by a longshot.
Far left pedal is the clutch, not a second “break”
No, that’s the anti-theft device.
Only works in America though
No, it’s just a foot rest
That looks like a dead pedal (foot rest), not a clutch pedal. Normally only the gas pedal has a full pedal face on it. A clutch pedal normally looks like a brake pedal.
Edit: Eh someone already said this but I agree with them.
I’m on mobile and could be wrong, but this picture looks like it’s an automatic and that’s a foot rest, not a clutch (nearly all Fords have a large plate like that in that spot to rest your left foot)
It’s generally called the dead pedal and yes, it’s basically a footrest for your left foot. This meme is just awful and misspelled brake.
Ahh you know I think you’re right
Okay student, now turn the accelerator and feather the accelerator as you accelerate into the curve, then press the accelerator to accelerate your acceleration out the curve.
Brake*
Sorry, just bugged me ><
You’d be surprised how many “normal” people don’t know the difference
Peek and peak upsets me all the time too! “Duel wield” is another one. While we’re at it, people who pronounce melee as Me Lee. It should sound like May Lay.
Well, it’s easy. If you don’t use the brake, the car could break.
depends on if you’re being followed by a cyber truck too closely, or not.
Likewise
NGL I stole this meme and was stoo lazy to fix it
Too*
(You asked for this. Asked for it!)

No it’s definitely “too”, no “to”. Too is a statement of how much, to is a statement of direction. OP is not going toward lazy.
He may have meant stew
was stoo lazy
idk wash she?
There’s an “s” in front of the “too”.
and was stoo lazy to

Forgot to label Earth as accelerator
Not to mention the driver’s hands and feet!

Is the window my frame of reference?

Well, with Alfas half of those accelerators probably don’t work!
(Actually jk, afaik this is only an old-timey joke now)
You wouldn’t be able to press a gas with your foot though.
I can imagine a scenario where you a gas is encased in a volume that you can reduce by stepping on it with your foot, thus pressurizing it.
