What does a curved line on a distance vs time graph tell you?

The object is accelerating or decelerating in the radial direction.


Meaning of decelerating?

Decelerating means to slow down. It means that an object is moving at an increasingly slower speed.


What is the velocity if the object is decelerating?

Decelerating means that the speed, i.e., the absolute value of the velocity, decreases over time.


When an object slow down it is . till it stops?

decelerating


Why is the line curved on a distance vs time graph?

The object is accelerating or decelerating in the radial direction.


When an object no longer speeds up?

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


Is it true that a negative acceleration always means that a moving object is decelerating?

Yes. That is what the term deceleration means.


When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity the object is said to be a. stationary. b. decelerating. c. in free fall.?

c. Free fall


When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity the object is said to be a. stationary. b. decelerating. c. in free fall. d. a projectile.?

c is correct.


When is the car decelerating?

It is decelerating any time it is not accelerating or is stopped. Decelerating means slowing down.


A negative slope on the velocity vs. time graph indicates that the object is not accelerating.?

It means the object is decelerating - slowing down rather than speeding up. You can think of it as negative acceleration.


How is gravity different for objects that freely fall down and those thrown upwards?

The gravity acting on a rising object and that on a falling object are the same when these objects are at the same height. What is different is that a rising object is decelerating by the force of gravity and the falling object is accelerating.
