When a car's velocity is negative and its acceleration is positive what is happening to the car's motion?
The car is slowing down
When a car's velocity is positive and it's acceleration is negative what is happening to the car motion?
The car is slowing down
How do the direction of a car's velocity and acceleration compare when the car is slowing down?
-- Its kinetic energy decreases. -- If the process continues, the car may stop altogether.
A car has an acceleration of -5 ms squared describe the cars motion?
When acceleration is negative this means that the object is slowing down from a velocity.
What is an example of force acting on a moving car?
Somebody pushing the car; friction slowing down the car; gravity acting on the car (this is especially relevant if the car is going up or down a slope); the engine pushing the car forwards.
Is a car accelerating when it is coming to a stop at a light?
No, when anything is slowing down it is decelerating.
When is the car decelerating?
It is decelerating any time it is not accelerating or is stopped. Decelerating means slowing down.
What is the vibrating sound when accelerating and slowing down in a car?
Could be bad u-joints in the driveshaft.
When accelerating to 25 mph there is a pulsation in car and same slowing down but not at high speed?
One tire has a belt separation.
Is a car still accelerating if it's slowing down?
Yes it has negative acceleration, which is acceleration in the opposite direction of travel. It is called deceleration.
Why car still accelerates after slowing down?
Acceleration is a change in velocity. Assuming a constant direction, if you're speeding up that is positive acceleration. If you are slowing down, that's negative acceleration. Either way you are accelerating.
If a car is traveling eastward can its acceleration be westward?
Yes. If you are traveling eastward but slowing down, your acceleration would be westward.
A car's acceleration is negative This means the car is?
slowing down
Is a car accelerating if it is slowing down?
Yes, it is negative acceleration By definition in any English language dictionary 'acceleration' means 'gaining velocity or speed' That is like saying when a light bulb is off it is negative on
What is the reaction of the car slowing down?
sTOPPING IT OR FRICTION!
Why does your car backfire while decelerating?
Slowing down
