Does acceleration refers to increasing speed decreasing speed or changing direction?

Increasing speed


What does decceleration mean?

Deceleration is the opposite of acceleration. It means decreasing speed and can be measured as negative acceleration.


What three things can acceleration mean?

Increasing speed, decreasing speed, and change of direction


In science acceleration refers to increasing speed decreasing speed or changing what?

Or Chaning Direction.


What is meant by positive acceleration and negative acceleration?

Positive acceleration = speeding up; speed increasing in the direction you're moving.Negative acceleration = slowing down; speed decreasing in the direction you're moving,or speed increasing in the opposite direction.


Is this true or faulse That acceleration refers to increasing speed decreasing or changing?

True


Why do engine looses acceleration after a certain speed?

Acceleration is the a change in speed or direction. Once a vehicle reaches a point where it is maintaining its speed but no longer increasing (or decreasing) the acceleration is zero. Even though you may be moving rapidly it is at a constant speed.


When would acceleration be negative?

When a moving object is slowing down, i.e. its speed is decreasing.


What is the difference between acceleration and deceleration?

Acceleration means speeding up or getting faster. Deceleration means losing speed or speed rate decreasing. 'Celer' is the Latin word for fast or speedy. - Answer Deceleration is the loss in speed or slowing down. Acceleration is the increase in speed.


The speed of a car moving on a straight road is decreasing on applying the brakes its velocity and acceleration are in same direction?

By convention, yes, but the acceleration is negative


What is the decrease of speed called in physics?

Any change of velocity, including a decrease of speed, is described and measured as acceleration. Assuming the velocity and acceleration vectors point in the same direction, then in the case of decreasing speed, the magnitude of the acceleration is a negative value. Negative acceleration is often called deceleration, but that is just a special case of acceleration.


Can an object have a negative acceleration and be speeding up?

No. Negative acceleration means that you are decreasing in acceleration, like braking a car. Therefore, you can't be speeding up because speed and acceleration are connected. You can't travel at a faster speed if you are braking.
