What has a velocity and acceleration vector in the same direction?
Any falling object has acceleration and velocity vectors in the same direction.
What happens when velocity and acceleration are not in the same direction?
In that case, the direction will change.
When acceleration and velocity are in the same direction the speed will?
In that case, the speed will increase.
How is direction of acceleration related to direction of momentum?
It isn't. The direction of momentum is the same as the direction of the velocity - of the movement. The direction of acceleration, on the other hand, is the same as the direction of the net force that acts on an object - and this force can be in any direction.
What is a moving object that has a velocity vector and acceleration vector in the same direction?
The net force is in the same direction as the acceleration of an object.
What has a velocity and acceleration vector in the same direction?
Any falling object has acceleration and velocity vectors in the same direction.
When angular velocity decreases the direction of angular acceleration is opposite to angular velocity .why?
Take the velocity to be in positive direction. Positive acceleration increases velocity and they are in the same direction. Negative acceleration reduce velocity and they are in opposite direction. It does not matter if the motion in linear or anfular.
Is the direction of velocity is same as direction of acceleration?
obviouslly not. there are many cases where the velocity is present but not acceleration and vce versa. it is also applicable for the direction of the measurements.
Are the direction of the velocity and acceleration of a falling body the same?
For the most part, yes; once at terminal velocity, there is no acceleration, so it has direction.
What happens when velocity and acceleration are not in the same direction?
In that case, the direction will change.
Is the direction of acceleration is same as that of velocity?
obviouslly not. there are many cases where the velocity is present but not acceleration and vce versa. it is also applicable for the direction of the measurements.
A car must always have an acceleration in the same direction as its velocity?
no
How does acceleration affect motion in the same direction?
It will increase the velocity of the the object in which the acceleration is applied.
What moving object speed up in what direct is the acceleration?
The acceleration is the same direction of the velocity
Is it possible for a body to have the same acceleration and velocity?
The velocity and acceleration can have the same numeric value, but the units will be different. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No it is not possible. Because so long there is acceleration then the velocity has to change either in magnitude or in direction or in both. So it is not at all possible for acceleration and velocity to be the same simultaneously.
When acceleration and velocity are in the same direction the speed will?
In that case, the speed will increase.
Is acceleration always in the same direction as the unbalanced force?
No, acceleration is change in velocity. (And velocity is speed in a certain direction.) If an object slows down, then it is changing velocity and thus accelerating. (In this case, the acceleration is negative.) If an object changes direction, then it's velocity changes, so this is also acceleration. (This is centripetal acceleration.)
