Can there be a positive acceleration and a negative acceleration?
Yes, acceleration can be positive and negative because acceleration is a vector. It has both direction and magnitude. The direction is what makes it positive or negative. Negative acceleration is usually called deceleration.
What has both a negative and positive?
An integer has both positive and negative numbers.
Can a b positive and a positive have a b negative child?
No. If both parents are positive, the child will be positive. If both parents are negative, the child will be negative. Parents who are negative and positive can have children who are either positive or negative. '+' + '+' = '+' '-' + '-' = '-' '+' + '-' = '-' or '+'
Explain the difference between positive and negative acceleration?
well the difference between positive and negative velocity would have to be that if your motion speeds up than you have a positive and when or if your motion slows down then you would have a negative accelerarion!!!!
How does positive and negative acceleration affect motion?
positive acceleration helps to increase the velocity for positive direction while negative acceleration resists the motion.
What is negative accleration?
Acceleration is change in velocity. It is a vector, so some direction is choosen as positive and the opposite direction as negative. Then you have two possibilities;(1) the object is increasing its speed in the negative direction. (2) the object is decreasing its speed in the positive direction. Both of these give negative acceleration. For example; if up is choosen as positive then acceleration due to gravity is always negative because when a projectile is projected up with some initial velocity it decreases its speed on the way up. But on the way down its increasing its speed, in the negative direction.
How can an object be accelerating if it's slowing down?
Acceleration doesn't mean "speeding up". It only means that the speed or direction of motion, or both, are changing. Speeding up is positive acceleration in the direction you're moving. Slowing down is negative acceleration in the direction you're moving, or positive acceleration in the opposite direction.
Both speed and acceleration include the direction of an objects motion?
Yes! In most problems direction needs to be defined as either positive or negative.
Do Both speed and acceleration include the direction of an object's motion?
No. The velocity of an object is how fast it is moving as well as the direction of the motion. So when considering one dimension, the velocity can be positive or negative. The speed of the object is simply the magnitude (absolute value, in the case of one dimension) of the velocity, with no direction. Acceleration is the change in velocity and does include direction. So if an object has a positive velocity (in one dimension) and its speed increases, the acceleration is negative. However, if the speed of an object moving the negative direction increases, then the acceleration is negative, because the velocity becomes "more negative."
What do you do when subtracting a positive and a negative?
If you subtract a negative from a positive, add both of their absolute values. If you subtract a positive from a negative, add both of their absolute values and multiply by negative one.
How can you tell about two integers when their quotient is positive negative zero?
If both integers are positive or both negative then the quotient is positive. If they are one of each then the quotient is negative.
Does wool have a negative or positive charge?
both because every object has both positive and negative charges but mainly has positive charges.
