When acceleration and velocity vectors are pointing in opposite directions the object is?
This would indicate negative acceleration, which would mean that the object in question is speeding up.
What is positive and negative acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
What does the slope of an acceleration time graph indicate?
The rate at which acceleration is changing.
Can acceleration ever be negative?
Acceleration is negative when the object is moving in the opposite direction. on a graph the line would be in the negative quadrant.
Is retardation positive or negative acceleration?
Retardation or deceleration is negative acceleration. It is opposite to the direction of velocity.
Can a car have negative velocity and negative acceleration?
It cannot have negative velocity, it can have negative acceleration.
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 negative and acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
When acceleration and velocity vectors are pointing in opposite directions the object is?
This would indicate negative acceleration, which would mean that the object in question is speeding up.
What is positive and negative acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
True or false Negative acceleration always means that a system is slowing down?
false A car can have a negative acceleration and be speeding up. A negative acceleration determines the direction of the acceleration A car with forward acceleration will speed up in the forward direction A car moving forward with a negative acceleration will slow down A car not moving with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction A car moving backward with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction
A plane taking off is a negative acceleration?
A plane landing is a negative acceleration - "negative" meaning it slows down.
What does the slope of an acceleration time graph indicate?
The rate at which acceleration is changing.
What is positive acceleration negative acceleration?
Positive is speeding up and negative is slowing down
Can acceleration ever be negative?
Acceleration is negative when the object is moving in the opposite direction. on a graph the line would be in the negative quadrant.
What is negative accelertion?
Acceleration is any change in velocity. Negative acceleration is when the change is such that the speed decreases.
Is retardation positive or negative acceleration?
Retardation or deceleration is negative acceleration. It is opposite to the direction of velocity.
