What happens to acceleration when speed decreases on a speed time graph?
Acceleration is negative.
What happens to the speed when acceleration is in the same direction as the motion?
Speed increase constantly.
What happens to your speed when the acceleration is in the same direction as the motion?
Speed increase constantly.
What happens to an objects speed if it travels with constant acceleration?
It goes faster
What is the difference between an object with constant acceleration and an object with constant speed?
Constant speed means that the speed doesn't change.Constant acceleration means that the acceleration doesn't change. The velocity WILL change in this case - unless the acceleration happens to be zero. So will the speed - note that in circular motion, both the acceleration and the velocity change all the time, even if the speed doesn't change.
The acceleration of a body is opposite in direction to its velocity?
If that happens, the body's speed will decrease.
What happens to an object when it undergoes acceleration is it the speed or velocity that increases?
It is the velocity that increases.
What happens to an objects speed if it travels with zero acceleration?
That means, of course, that the velocity (and the speed) doesn't change.
The relationship of speed and acceleration?
Acceleration is the time rate of change of speed. Acceleration = speed/time.
How can acceleration be constant if it is an increase in speed?
Exactly the same way that the speed can be constant but the distance keeps increasing.If the acceleration happens to be an increase in speed, then "constant" accelerationmeans that the speed will increase just as much in the 7th minute, for example,as it increased in the 4th minute, for example, etc.Acceleration can be the rate at which speed changes. So if the acceleration is constant,then the speed is changing at a constant rate.(Note: Acceleration doesn't have to be a change of speed. It can also be a changeof direction, at constant speed.)
What happens to the speed of an object that is accelerating?
The speed may, or may not, change. Acceleration means that the velocity changes; this means that either the speed changes, or the direction.
A car is traveling at the same speed until the driver pushes on the accelerator causing a net force to act on the car which in turn causes the car to accelerate.Which of the Newton's Laws explains?
All three of Newton's laws are acting in this situation. Newton's first law states that a body at at rest will remain at rest and a body in constant motion will retain that motion unless a force acts to cause an acceleration. This law explains why the car moves with the same speed until the driver pushes the accelerator. Newton's second law states that the acceleration a body is experiencing is proportional to the force acting on the body to cause the acceleration. This law explains why the amount force the driver puts on the accelerator determines the amount of acceleration the car experiences. The third law states that if body A exerts a force on body B, body B will exert an equal but opposite force on body A. This law explains why the car does not fall through the road surface, why the driver can sit in the car and why the accelerator can be pushed.
