When an object slows down it has what acceleration?
Retardation or negative acceleration or deceleration.
What is acceleration and retardation?
acceration means rate of change of velocity and if that acceration is negative then it is called as retardation
What is positive and negative acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
How is a negative acceleration different from a positive acceleration?
Actually, it depends on how you define the coordinate axes, but usually when moving forward, negative acceleration decreasesspeed, positive acceleration increasesit.
An increase of speed during a given interval of time is called negative acceleration?
No, it's only the acceleration. By (-)ve acceleration ,it means retardation or deceleration..
Why is retardation called negative acceleration?
retardation is nothing but the decrease in speed. so if the increase in speed can be taken as positive then for sure decrease in speed can be taken as negative acceleration.
When an object slows it has what acceleration?
Retardation or negative acceleration or deceleration.
When an object slows down it has what acceleration?
Retardation or negative acceleration or deceleration.
What is acceleration and retardation?
acceration means rate of change of velocity and if that acceration is negative then it is called as retardation
Can there be a positive acceleration and a negative acceleration?
Yes, acceleration can be positive and negative because acceleration is a vector. It has both direction and magnitude. The direction is what makes it positive or negative. Negative acceleration is usually called deceleration.
What is positive and negative acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
What is positive acceleration negative acceleration?
Positive is speeding up and negative is slowing down
What is negative and acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
Does a softball have a positive or negative acceleration when it is thrown?
positive
Difference between negative and positive acceration?
Positive acceleration ==> speeding up Negative acceleration ==> slowing down
