What is positive negative and zero acceleration is?

positive acceleration is when things speed up; negative acceleration is when things slow down; and zero acceleration is when things do not speed up or slow down, this is called constant speed, or no change in velocity.


What is decreaing acceleration?

It is deceleration which means to retard or slow down the acceleration.


Why is it that when you slow down you accelerate?

Acceleration is any change in velocity. Slowing down is a negative acceleration.


When is the term negative acceleration used?

The term negative acceleration is used when something is slowing down from its motion. When pushing the brakes the car will negatively acceleration to slow down .


What is another word for deceleration?

Technically, it is acceleration either way. If something is slowing down, the acceleration is negative. Slow down or Decrease velocity


3 ways to accelerate?

To change the acceleration of a car: speed up, slow down or turn. Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is "how fast" and in "what direction". To speed up is to accelerate (increase the velocity). To slow down is to deaccelerate (decrease the velocity) To turn is also a form of acceleration (changes the direction of the velocity).


The term decelaration means?

Acceleration is to speed up. Deceleration is to slow down.


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 :]


Why do things speed up or slow down?

Its all physics. Things speed up and slow down because of a force acting upon them. Newton's second law of motion states that the force applied to an object is equal to its mass times acceleration, i.e. F = MA. As a result force causes a change in acceleration, which causes a change in velocity. This can be positive or negative, depending on which direction the force is acting.


Does acceleration have a negative or positive value if the velocity is increasing speed?

In this case, acceleration is positive. Negative acceleration would cause the object to slow down (decelerate.)


Why a slow response to acceleration on 2002 Malibu?

There are several things that can cause a slow response to acceleration. The most common cause is a dirty air filter. A dirty fuel filter can also cause the problem.


What is causing slow acceleration on a 2000 Daewoo Leganza?

slow acceleration and loss of power is usually down to airflow meter not performing correctly,tests need to be carried out with scan tool if one available
