Why is it that their is an acceleration when a car is moving?
There is only acceleration if the car's velocity changes. If it moves at a constant velocity, then there is no acceleration.
Car slow acceleration?
It is good of a car has a slow acceleration rate. This means that the car will probably be great on gas.
Is acceleration of a car is scalar quantity?
No, acceleration is a vector quantity.
The maximum acceleration of a car while towing a second car twice its mass compared to its acceleration with no car in tow is?
one third
When a car is moving in reverse backing from a driveway the driver applies the brake in what direction is the car's acceleration?
The car's acceleration is in forward direction.
True or false Negative acceleration always means that a system is slowing down?
false A car can have a negative acceleration and be speeding up. A negative acceleration determines the direction of the acceleration A car with forward acceleration will speed up in the forward direction A car moving forward with a negative acceleration will slow down A car not moving with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction A car moving backward with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction
What type of acceleration is it when a car slows down?
Deaccelration.
Which car has most acceleration and horsepower?
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport is the car that has the most acceleration and horsepower.
What describes motion of a car?
Acceleration describes the motion of a car. Acceleration is defined as an increase in the rate or speed of something.
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 the negative acceleration?
Negative acceleration is the state of a body whose velocity in a specified direction is becoming smaller. If you apply the brakes while driving a car, the car (and you) will undergo negative acceleration in the direction in which the car was moving.
Can a car move around a circular racetrack so that the car has a tangential acceleration but no centripetal acceleration?
No, If a car moves around a circular race track with any constant speed, the acceleration is directed towards the centre. So it has a centripetal acceleration. The tangential acceleration would be irrelevant unless the car has an instantaneous tangential velocity of zero. Then the centripetal acceleration is zero. However, this would only exist for that small instant in time.
