Does an object's speed increase even if acceleration decreases?

Acceleration is nothing but rate of increase in velocity. If acceleration at the time is positive velocity will increase independent of acceleration in past.
Suppose you are moving at 5m/s at t=0. Acceleration is 5m/s2 initially. At t = 1 your velocity will be 10m/s. If acceleration became 3m/s2, then your velocity at t = 2 will be 13m/s. Thus your velocity still increased but comparatively lesser in amount. Now if acceleration became -8m/s2, velocity at t = 3 will be 5m/s, thus velocity decrease due to negative acceleration.

If a ball rolls down a hill does its speed or acceleration increase?
If you roll a ball up a hill it undergoes negative upward and positive downward acceleration.
What is the definition of deceleration acceleration?
Acceleration is when speed increases. Deceleration is when speed decreases.
What determines your acceleration?
The rate that your speed increases or decreases.
What is increase in speed?
acceleration
Can a object with no acceleration be stationary?
If acceleration means to increase in speed or pace, then a stationary object is static, without movement, without acceleration. But, if an object is moving at a constant rate, then I suggest acceleration is not present, unless, or until the objects speed increases. Yes, an object with no acceleration may be stationary.

What happens to acceleration when speed decreases on a speed time graph?
Acceleration is negative.
What is the definition of deceleration acceleration?
Acceleration is when speed increases. Deceleration is when speed decreases.
An objects acceleration decreases as the objects mass?
force = mass * acceleration then mass and acceleration is inversly proportional. Actually mass is constant but when the speed increases the mass become less since acceleration and velocity is directly propotional thus acceleration increases too.....thx..with best regards..
Why speed increases if its acceleration decreases?
stamina

Definition of acceleration?
increase rate in speed of acceleration
Will acceleration only speed up an object?
In popular usage, "acceleration" means an increase in speed. In physics, any change in velocity is called an "acceleration".In popular usage, "acceleration" means an increase in speed.

What is negative accelertion?
Acceleration is any change in velocity. Negative acceleration is when the change is such that the speed decreases.
When a body undergoes an acceleration does its speed increase or decrease?
Both. Acceleration is a change in speed.
