What is a moving object that has a velocity vector and acceleration vector in the opposite direction?
This is a moving object that is slowing down.
What does a force in the opposite direction to the motion cause?
A force applied to a moving object in the opposite direction of its motion causes its velocity to decrease.
What does velocity tell you about a moving object?
Velocity tells you what speed a moving object travels at and in what direction.
What describes an object and speed and direction?
As regards a moving object, we call the measure of the speed and direction it is moving its velocity.
What is the physical meaning of a negative average velocity?
It means that an object with a negative average velocity is moving in the opposite direction (of course according to the chosen positive direction of the predefined frame).

It means that an object with a negative average velocity is moving in the opposite direction (of course according to the chosen positive direction of the predefined frame).
What is the speed of an object moving on a particular direction?
The speed of an object moving in a particular direction is called the velocity and it's a vector, that is, it has magnitude and direction. Speed is the scalar part of velocity.
Does velocity only describes the direction in which an objects moving?
No. Velocity is a vector that describes both the direction in which an object is moving and its speed in that direction.
How are velocity and acceleration different?
acceleration is the increase of speed in a moving object. velocity is the speed and direction of a moving object.
Can a speed of a body be negative?
The 'speed' of a body cannot be negative. But if you are stating the 'velocity' then it can be negative. Negative velocity means it is going opposite to the direction that you decided to call the positive direction.
How can you use integers to represent the velocity and the speed of an object?
This was the essential question on a homework assignment. Speed tells how fast an object is moving but it does not tell the direction. Velocity tells how fast an object is moving and it also tells the direction. When velocity is positive, the object is moving up. When velocity is negative, the object is moving down.
Can the velocity of object reverse direction when its acceleration is constant?
yes, if the acceleration is in the opposite direction of the velocity.
What includes a moving object's direction and speed?
velocity
