Does acceleration refers to increasing speed decreasing speed or changing direction?
Increasing speed
What is meant by positive acceleration and negative acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up; speed increasing in the direction you're moving.Negative acceleration = slowing down; speed decreasing in the direction you're moving,or speed increasing in the opposite direction.
Is increasing acceleration the same as positive acceleration?
No. "Positive acceleration" means increasing speed. The acceleration is usually constantin typical Physics examples and applications.
When is acceleration of an object positive?
When its speed is increasing
How is velocity of zero different from an acceleration of zero?
Velocity basically means how fast you are going. Acceleration means how much your speed is increasing. So if there is zero velocity that means the object is not moving. If there is zero acceleration, that means that the speed is not increasing but there is actual speed and the object is not increasing it's speed what ever that may be.
Compare velocity from acceleration?
Velocity is a constant traveling speed. Acceleration is increasing traveling speed (variation of speed over time)
How is increasing speed acceleration?
By definition acceleration is the change in velocity (speed).
Does zero acceleration mean you are stopped?
Yes it does. Sources: 8 grade science textbook wikipedia
Does acceleration refers to increasing speed decreasing speed or changing direction?
Increasing speed
A car is traveling south at a speed of 68 miles per hour and then begins traveling at a speed of 69 miles per hour but continues traveling in the same direction What has changed?
Both the speed and velocity have increased as a result of acceleration.
What is light's acceleration if its traveling at a constant speed of 300000 km s?
It has no acceleration. The definition of acceleration is the change in velocity over time, so if it is traveling at a constant speed, it has no acceleration. Also, the speed of light is a constant, which means it does not change.

Positive acceleration = speeding up; speed increasing in the direction you're moving.Negative acceleration = slowing down; speed decreasing in the direction you're moving,or speed increasing in the opposite direction.

When is acceleration of an object positive?
When its speed is increasing
Is your speed is constant if you are traveling in a straight line with an acceleration of zero?
If your acceleration is zero, then yes, you are traveling at a constant speed. The path does not matter. Acceleration measures the change in velocity, so an acceleration of zero means that there is zero change in velocity and therefore the speed is constant.
How is velocity of zero different from an acceleration of zero?
Velocity basically means how fast you are going. Acceleration means how much your speed is increasing. So if there is zero velocity that means the object is not moving. If there is zero acceleration, that means that the speed is not increasing but there is actual speed and the object is not increasing it's speed what ever that may be.
Traveling without changing speed?
When you (or an object) travel without changing speed, then you have constant velocity (speed). This means there is no change in speed (acceleration) when you (or an object) is traveling.
