What is positive and negative acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
When acceleration and velocity vectors are pointing in opposite directions the object is?
This would indicate negative acceleration, which would mean that the object in question is speeding up.
What does a negative acceleration indicate?
slowing down
What type of acceleration do you have if you are slowing down?
Deceleration. Slowing down can also be expressed by quoting a minus number for the amount of acceleration, e.g. -5m/s.
What is another word for acceleration while slowing down?
That would be "Deceleration" or negative acceleration.
What is positive and negative acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
When acceleration and velocity vectors are pointing in opposite directions the object is?
This would indicate negative acceleration, which would mean that the object in question is speeding up.
Explain why the slowing down of a moving object is considered to be a form of acceleration?
Acceleration is the change of velocity, with direction. Therefore slowing down is a change in veolcity, so is considered to be acceleration (just negative acceleration).
An object slowing down has a what acceleration?
Deceleration
What does a negative acceleration indicate?
slowing down
What is negative and acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
What type of acceleration do you have if you are slowing down?
Deceleration. Slowing down can also be expressed by quoting a minus number for the amount of acceleration, e.g. -5m/s.
Why is it that when you slow down you accelerate?
Acceleration is any change in velocity. Slowing down is a negative acceleration.
An object that is slowing down is undergoing acceleration?
no, deceleration.
When does an object have no acceleration?
When it is stationary, or when the velocity is constant. If it is speeding up or slowing down, it has acceleration.
What is positive acceleration negative acceleration?
Positive is speeding up and negative is slowing down
An object slowing down has what type of acceleration?
Negative acceleration, also known as deceleration.
