No. At least the way the word "acceleration" is used in physics, it refers to any change in velocity, divided by the time it takes for the change.

What kind of acceleration occurs when an object speeds up: positive, negative, neutral, or zero?

When an object speeds up, it experiences positive acceleration.


If a moving object speeds upin what direction is the acceleration?

If a moving object is speeding up, the acceleration is in the same direction as the object's motion.


What is true when the velocity and the acceleration of an object are in the same direction?

In that case, the object speeds up.


What occurs every time an object speeds up or slows down?

Acceleration


What is when an object speeds up slows down or changes direction?

When an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction, it is experiencing acceleration. Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes over time. It can be caused by forces such as gravity, friction, or applied force.


When An object speeds up it has what acceleration?

For an object's speed to change (increase or decrease), the object must be accelerating. If there is an acceleration, there is a non-zero net force acting on the object.note: Velocity and speed are different. An object's velocity can change without the speed changing. Example of this is centripetal acceleration. The object's velocity changes directions, thus the velocity changes. The magnitude (or speed), however, stays the same (if only a radial acceleration is present).


What happens when a moving object speeds up slows down or changes directions is it acelleration?

Yes, changes in an object's speed, direction, or both involve acceleration. Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity over time, where velocity includes both speed and direction. So, any time an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction, it is experiencing acceleration.


A change in what indicates the acceleration of an object?

A change in velocity of an object indicates acceleration. Acceleration can occur when an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction. It is a vector quantity that includes both the rate of change of speed and the direction of the change.


When an object no longer speeds up?

It now lacks acceleration and is either maintaining constant speed or is decelerating.


Definition of acceleration?

Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. Acceleration can occur when an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.


In what ways can a change in velocity Be an acceleration?

A change in velocity can be an acceleration when the speed or direction of an object changes. If an object speeds up, slows down, or changes its direction, then it is experiencing acceleration. Acceleration is a vector quantity that includes changes in both speed and direction.


What is the definition of deceleration acceleration?

Deceleration is the rate at which an object slows down or decreases its speed. Acceleration is the rate at which an object speeds up or increases its velocity. Both are measures of how quickly an object's motion changes.
