What indicates the acceleration of an object?
Velocity. A change in VELOCITY will always indicate the acceleration of an object.
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 does a negative acceleration indicate?
slowing down
When an object slows down it has what acceleration?
Retardation or negative acceleration or deceleration.
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 the acceleration of an object when the object maybe coming to a stop?
Negative

When an object's initial velocity is less than its final velocity what does that indicate?
AccelerationWhen the velocity of an object increases or decreases, that means it has accelerated. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.If an object's final velocity is greater than its initial velocity, that indicates positive acceleration. If an object's final velocity is less than its initial velocity -- if, say, it slows down and comes to a stop -- then that indicates negative acceleration. Deceleration is another way of saying negative acceleration. But . . .It is good idea to avoid using the term deceleration, because an object that is experiencing negative acceleration may slow down, come to a stop momentarily, and then reverse direction and speed up -- IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION!You can think of it this way: When an object is slowing down, its acceleration is in the direction opposite to its motion. We think of that as negative acceleration.
Does a negative acceleration always mean that an object is slowing down?
No. A negative acceleration could mean a change in direction
What is the definition of negative velocity?
Observe that the object below moves in the negativedirection with a changing velocity. An object which moves in the negative direction has a negative velocity. If the object is speeding up then its acceleration vector is directed in the same direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).
What is the direction of the acceleration of an object that is slowing down while heading northward?
The acceleration is opposite the direction the object is moving, so the acceleration is negative and southward.
An object slowing down has what type of acceleration?
Negative acceleration, also known as deceleration.
