The acceleration will either speed up or slow down an object's motion in the direction it is applied. Any change in speed or direction is considered acceleration.

How does acceleration affect motion in the same direction?

It will increase the velocity of the the object in which the acceleration is applied.


How does a negative or positive acceleration affect motion?

It can change the direction of motion or it can speed up or slow down an object.


Can an object be moving if acceleration is zero?

Yes. Acceleration is defined as a change of speed and/or direction of motion. If the speed and direction of motion are constant, then there is no acceleration.


How does friction affect movement of object?

Friction provides a force, and therefore an acceleration, in the opposite direction of motion.


What kind of motion does the speed and direction not change?

Acceleration in motion refers to a change in speed or direction of that object's motion. So a type of motion in which speed and direction do not change is a motion in which the acceleration is constant (i.e. unchanging).


True or false acceleration is a change in motion?

'Acceleration' is a change in the speed and/or direction of motion.


What is motion direction?

it is when you change directions.


What is the example where acceleration is in the direction of motion?

An example of acceleration in the direction of motion is a smooth spherical stone dropped from the roof of a building on a windless day. All the motion is straight down, toward the center of the earth, and so is the acceleration.


When a body move in uniform motion why and how its acceleration is constant or equal to zero?

'Acceleration' means any change in speed or direction of motion.'Uniform' motion means no change in speed or direction.


What is the defintion of acceleration?

Acceleration is any change in the speed and/or the direction of an object's motion.


A change in speed or direction?

A change in speed or direction is caused by a force and is called acceleration.


What is the example of acceleration which is in the direction of motion?
