What else can I help you with?
Is a car accelerating when it is coming to a stop at a light?
No, when anything is slowing down it is decelerating.
How can a car slowing down also be accelerating?
A car can be slowing down while still accelerating if its speed is decreasing but the direction of its velocity is changing. For example, if a car is moving in a curve, its speed may be decreasing but it is still accelerating towards the center of the turn. This is known as centripetal acceleration.
When is the car decelerating?
It is decelerating any time it is not accelerating or is stopped. Decelerating means slowing down.
What is the vibrating sound when accelerating and slowing down in a car?
Could be bad u-joints in the driveshaft.
When accelerating to 25 mph there is a pulsation in car and same slowing down but not at high speed?
One tire has a belt separation.
Is a car still accelerating if it's slowing down?
Yes it has negative acceleration, which is acceleration in the opposite direction of travel. It is called deceleration.
Why car still accelerates after slowing down?
Acceleration is a change in velocity. Assuming a constant direction, if you're speeding up that is positive acceleration. If you are slowing down, that's negative acceleration. Either way you are accelerating.
Is it true or false that an object would accelerate when it is slowing down?
False. An object is slowing down when its speed is decreasing, which means it is decelerating, not accelerating in the direction of motion.
An object that is accelerating maybe slowing down or speeding up?
An object that is accelerating is either speeding up or slowing down. If the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity, the object is speeding up. If the acceleration is opposite to the velocity, the object is slowing down.
If a car is traveling eastward can its acceleration be westward?
Yes. If you are traveling eastward but slowing down, your acceleration would be westward.
If a train is slowing down is it accelerating?
This depends on how you define your axes. Let's assume they're defined as normal (being positive is accelerating, negative is breaking, and for velocity positive is driving forward, negative is driving in reverse). Then of course, you are speeding up. This simply means the train was in reverse, but it's accelerating in the positive direction now.
Use accelerating in a sentence?
My car is accelerating at 10 miles per hour per hour.
