No. Acceleration is always in the direction of net force.
The deceptively simple equation that shows this is [ F = m A ].
' F ' (force) and ' A ' (acceleration) are vectors. The equation says that not only is
the size of ' F ' equal to the sizeof ' mA ', but their directions are also the same.
F = Ma but the acceleration will be in the opposite direction to that of the object's on which friction force is experienced.
An object's acceleration is the result of a force being applied to it. When that happens, the magnitude of the resulting acceleration is equal to the force divided by the object's mass, and the direction of the acceleration is in the direction of the force.
If an object is increasing in speed, the acceleration is positive and the force is in the direction of travel. If the object is slowing down, the acceleration is negative and the force is acting against the direction of movement.
Deceleration is merely acceleration in a direction opposite to the original motion. If something isnt moving it cannot be decelerated but if it is moving and the resultant force acts in the opposite direction to motion it will decelerate the object.
You can decrease acceleration by either one of both of the following methods:Decrease the force that is causing the acceleration; orApply a force that opposes (that is, is pushing in the opposite direction of) the force that is causing the acceleration.
F = Ma but the acceleration will be in the opposite direction to that of the object's on which friction force is experienced.
The opposite direction. To stop a moving object requires an acceleration in the direction opposite its motion.
An object's acceleration is the result of a force being applied to it. When that happens, the magnitude of the resulting acceleration is equal to the force divided by the object's mass, and the direction of the acceleration is in the direction of the force.
If an object is increasing in speed, the acceleration is positive and the force is in the direction of travel. If the object is slowing down, the acceleration is negative and the force is acting against the direction of movement.
Friction provides a force, and therefore an acceleration, in the opposite direction of motion.
If you apply force to an object, you accelerate it. If you apply the force in the direction that the object is moving, you speed it up. If you apply it in the opposite direction, you slow it down. If you apply the force in another direction than the object is moving in you will change the direction of the objects motion. The amount of acceleration is given by a = F/m where a is acceleration, F is force and m is the mass of the object.
Deceleration is merely acceleration in a direction opposite to the original motion. If something isnt moving it cannot be decelerated but if it is moving and the resultant force acts in the opposite direction to motion it will decelerate the object.
-- When the net force on an object is not zero, the object undergoes accelerated motion.-- The magnitude of the acceleration is the ratio of the net force to the object's mass.-- The direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.
You can decrease acceleration by either one of both of the following methods:Decrease the force that is causing the acceleration; orApply a force that opposes (that is, is pushing in the opposite direction of) the force that is causing the acceleration.
A force will produce acceleration when the object moves. force in the line of motion will increase the acceleration and the force opposite to the line of motion will decrease the acceleration.
The acceleration will be in the direction of the net force.
It would be in the negative direction as well. Newton's Second law states that the acceleration of an object directly depends on the net force given to that object.
