What is the term that describes a decrease in acceleration?
it is still acceleration, but it is negative.
How can you increase or decrease acceleration?
acceleration is a change in speed or direction, so to answer your ? you slow down, speed up or make a turn :]
Which term describes an increase or decrease in velocity or a change in direction?
acceleration
Does acceleration either decrease constantly or increase constantly?
No, in basic physics acceleration depends on Newton's Second Law Net Force equals mass times acceleration
What happens to the acceleration as you decreases the mass?
By F = ma, if the force remains constant, and the mass decreases, this would mean that the acceleration has increased by exactly the same factor as the decrease in mass. That is, if the mass of a substance was halved, its acceleration would have doubled exactly.
What is the term that describes a decrease in acceleration?
it is still acceleration, but it is negative.
Does air resustance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling abject?
Decrease.
Can acceleration change with out increase or decrease speed?
yes the 3 types of acceleration are increased speed decrease speed or change in direction.
How does net force affect acceleration?
If net force acting on a mass decreases, the acceleration of the object decreases. But if the mass of an object were to decrease while a constant net force acted on it, its acceleration would INcrease. If the net force on the object AND the object's mass both decrease, the object's acceleration could either increase OR decrease. We'd need the actual numbers in order to calculate how it would turn out.
What is the decrease of velocity?
Deceleration or negative acceleration.
When a body undergoes an acceleration does its speed increase or decrease?
Both. Acceleration is a change in speed.
A decrease in velocity is called what?
Negative acceleration, or deceleration.
Why is retardation called negative acceleration?
retardation is nothing but the decrease in speed. so if the increase in speed can be taken as positive then for sure decrease in speed can be taken as negative acceleration.
Where can one find reviews on baby sleds?
One could find reviews on baby sleds on the Internet. On your Search bar, enter "Baby Sled Reviews" and it will bring up various companies that manufacture baby sleds.
What is the decrease of speed called in physics?
Any change of velocity, including a decrease of speed, is described and measured as acceleration. Assuming the velocity and acceleration vectors point in the same direction, then in the case of decreasing speed, the magnitude of the acceleration is a negative value. Negative acceleration is often called deceleration, but that is just a special case of acceleration.
How are deceleration and acceleration related?
Acceleration and deceleration are related by their their sign. Acceleration is positive ( increase in velocity with time) and deceleration is negative (decrease in velocity with time).
Does air resistance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling obect?
Well, the more the air resistance, the lower the acceleration.
