Can an object have a northward velocity and southward acceleration?

Yes, think about this; when you through a ball up in the air the velocity will be positive since its going up but the acceleration will be -9.8 since it is going against gravity.

If an object is accelerating what equation relates the acceleration of that object the initial velocity and the final velocity and time?
Vf = Vi + at Where Vf = final velocity Vi = initial velocity a = acceleration t = time
Does an object experiencing a constant velocity have a zero or non-zero value for acceleration?
If an object is sustaining a constant velocity it has 0 acceleration, because acceleration is either increasing or decreasing speed.
Can an object have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration?
Yes. An object moving at constant velocity has zero acceleration. The constant velocity van be any constant including zero velocity. Mathematics acceleration a=dv/dt = 0. Solving this gives v = constant.
What happens to an object when it undergoes acceleration is it the speed or velocity that increases?
It is the velocity that increases.
What is Motion without acceleration?
Such and object is said to be in equilibrium. No acceleration and no force.
What is the direction of the acceleration of an object that is slowing down while heading northward?
The acceleration is opposite the direction the object is moving, so the acceleration is negative and southward.
What indicates the acceleration of an object?
Velocity. A change in VELOCITY will always indicate the acceleration of an object.
Is there an acceleration when an object traveling at constant velocity and why?
No. Acceleration is change of velocity / time. If there is no change in velocity, there is no acceleration.
When the acceleration of an object is zero what is the velocity at the same time?
As long as acceleration is zero, the object's velocity is constant.
What is the rate at which an object velocity changes?
Acceleration
How are velocity and acceleration different?
acceleration is the increase of speed in a moving object. velocity is the speed and direction of a moving object.
Is acceleration how quickly an object's velocity changes?
Yes, acceleration is the how the velocity changes. This also includes when an object turns
An object is falling at its what if it falls at a constant velocity?
rate of acceleration
When an object moves in a circular path will the velocity change will there be acceleration?
When an object moves in a circular path, the velocity will change and the there will be acceleration.
Can an object be accelerating if it has constant velocity?
No. The definition of acceleration is the change in an object's velocity over time. Acceleration must then be zero since velocity remains constant.
When does an object's acceleration change?
Acceleration is change of velocity / time.
When an object's final velocity is less than its initial velocity it has what kind of acceleration?
Negative acceleration.
