obviouslly not. there are many cases where the velocity is present but not acceleration and vce versa. it is also applicable for the direction of the measurements.

What has a velocity and acceleration vector in the same direction?

Any falling object has acceleration and velocity vectors in the same direction.


When angular velocity decreases the direction of angular acceleration is opposite to angular velocity .why?

Take the velocity to be in positive direction. Positive acceleration increases velocity and they are in the same direction. Negative acceleration reduce velocity and they are in opposite direction. It does not matter if the motion in linear or anfular.

Are the direction of the velocity and acceleration of a falling body the same?

For the most part, yes; once at terminal velocity, there is no acceleration, so it has direction.


What happens when velocity and acceleration are not in the same direction?

In that case, the direction will change.


How are spped velocity direction and acceleration the same?

acceleration=ratio of change in velocity in a specific direction to time. speed=ratio of distance to time.


A car must always have an acceleration in the same direction as its velocity?

no


How does acceleration affect motion in the same direction?

It will increase the velocity of the the object in which the acceleration is applied.


What moving object speed up in what direct is the acceleration?

The acceleration is the same direction of the velocity


Is it possible for a body to have the same acceleration and velocity?

The velocity and acceleration can have the same numeric value, but the units will be different. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No it is not possible. Because so long there is acceleration then the velocity has to change either in magnitude or in direction or in both. So it is not at all possible for acceleration and velocity to be the same simultaneously.


When acceleration and velocity are in the same direction the speed will?

In that case, the speed will increase.


Can the velocity of object reverse direction when its acceleration is constant?

yes, if the acceleration is in the opposite direction of the velocity.
