The object is moving down (or backwards), getting slower and slower.

Eventually, its speed will drop to zero, and it'll begin moving up (forward).

When velocity is negative and acceleration is positive what happens to an objects motion?

Its slowing down (but still moving).


When velocity is zero and acceleration is negative what happens to the object in motion?

It accelerates in the opposite direction. Its velocity increases in the opposite direction to the direction that has been assigned positive.


When you press your bicycle's brakeswhat happens to your speedvelocityand acceleration?

your seed,velocity,and acceleration will be slow When you brake, your acceleration increases (!), your velocity decreases (and in this case, there is no difference between velocity and speed). Negative acceleration increases when braking a moving bike.


Two words for what happens when an objects velocity decreases?

negative acceleration


When velocity is zero and acceleration is negative what happens to an object's motion?

At that moment, the object isn't moving - but since the velocity is changing, it soon will.


When velocity is positive and acceleration is zero what happens to an objects motion?

When acceleration is zero, then the object is moving in a straight line with constant speed. (That's the effective meaning of constant velocity.)


What happens to the velocity if acceleration is zero?

The velocity stays the same, it is constant


Acceleration is the rate at which happens?

acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.


When tossing a coin upwards what happens to its velocity while ascending what happens to its acceleration?

Its velocity decreases because gravity is pulling on it as it goes up. Its acceleration increases.


What happens to an object when it undergoes acceleration is it the speed or velocity that increases?

It is the velocity that increases.


If an object moves with constant acceleration what happens to the velocity?

The velocity increases at a constant rate.


Can an object have a northward velocity and southward acceleration?

Yes, think about this; when you through a ball up in the air the velocity will be positive since its going up but the acceleration will be -9.8 since it is going against gravity.
