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.
In that case, the object speeds up.
Acceleration
It now lacks acceleration and is either maintaining constant speed or is decelerating.
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).
The scientific term for 'speeds up' is acceleration
Its acceleration due to gravity is constant. The acceleration is equal to the object's change in speed every second. I've tried to illustrate the constantly-increasing falling speed in my diagram below.
No. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity; any change of velocity qualifies, even if only the direction changes.
False. At least the way "acceleration" is described in physics, acceleration involves any change in velocity - so the "accelerating" object can speed up, slow down, or simply change direction.
Negative Acceleration:Negative Acceleration refers to an object whose speed decreases as it moves away from its original starting position.Actually, that's not entirely correct. Acceleration is a vector quantity and, therefore, depends on direction. If an object is moving in a straight line, in the negative direction, its acceleration is positive if its speed decreases with time and negative if its speed increases with time.Think of it this way: if the acceleration vector is pointed in the same direction as the way an object is moving, the object speeds up. If the acceleration vector is pointed opposite the direction of motion, it slows down.
-- In a reference book or on-line, look up the acceleration of gravity on the surface of that planet. -- Multiply the mass of the object by the acceleration of gravity in the place where the object is. The result is the object's weight in that place.
Any change in velocity, whether to speed up, slow down, or just change direction, results from acceleration. Acceleration is an expression of the rate of change of velocity.
Any time speed or direction changes, that's acceleration. There's no way a balanced group of forces could do any of this, though. The vector sum of a group of balanced forces is zero, and where net force is zero, there's no acceleration.
