What does a positive slope on a velocity and time graph mean in terms of motion?
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 has to happen to a car's acceleration and velocity for a car's speed to increase and have a positive acceleration?
The velocity has to increase in a positive direction. The increase in velocity in a positive direction is a positive acceleration.
What is positive and negative acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
Is increasing acceleration the same as positive acceleration?
No. "Positive acceleration" means increasing speed. The acceleration is usually constantin typical Physics examples and applications.
What is positive acceleration negative acceleration?
Positive is speeding up and negative is slowing down
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?
Actually, it depends on how you define the coordinate axes, but usually when moving forward, negative acceleration decreasesspeed, positive acceleration increasesit.
How can an object be accelerating if it's slowing down?
Acceleration doesn't mean "speeding up". It only means that the speed or direction of motion, or both, are changing. Speeding up is positive acceleration in the direction you're moving. Slowing down is negative acceleration in the direction you're moving, or positive acceleration in the opposite direction.
Problems about positive acceleration?
Positive acceleration is an increase in velocity in the direction in which motion is being measured.
If objects get faster with time the direction of the acceleration is?
The acceleration is positive.
What is negative and acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
