Positive acceleration is an increase in velocity in the direction in which motion is being measured.

What is positive acceleration formula?

The formula for positive acceleration is: acceleration = change in velocity / time taken. Positive acceleration means an increase in velocity over time.


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.


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.)


Is increasing acceleration the same as positive acceleration?

Yes, increasing acceleration means that the rate of change of velocity is increasing, which implies positive acceleration. Positive acceleration corresponds to speeding up, while negative acceleration (deceleration) corresponds to slowing down.


What is positive acceleration negative acceleration?

Positive is speeding up and negative is slowing down


What has to happen to a car's acceleration and velocity for a car's speed to increase and have a positive acceleration?

For a car's speed to increase and have a positive acceleration, the car's velocity needs to be increasing in the same direction as its acceleration. This means that the car is speeding up. When the velocity and acceleration have the same sign (both positive or both negative), the car's speed will increase.


What can positive acceleration called?

Positive acceleration could be called "speeding up" if you felt like it.


How is a negative acceleration different from a positive acceleration?

A negative acceleration refers to a decrease in velocity, while a positive acceleration refers to an increase in velocity. Negative acceleration occurs when the speed of an object is decreasing, such as when it is slowing down. Positive acceleration occurs when the speed of an object is increasing, such as when it is speeding up.


What is positive and negative acceleration?

Positive acceleration occurs when an object's velocity is increasing over time, while negative acceleration (or deceleration) happens when an object's velocity is decreasing over time. Positive acceleration can be due to speeding up, turning, or changing direction, while negative acceleration is typically caused by slowing down or stopping.


If objects get faster with time the direction of the acceleration is?

The acceleration is positive.


Both speed and acceleration include the direction of an objects motion?

Yes! In most problems direction needs to be defined as either positive or negative.


What is negative and acceleration?

Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
