What is positive and negative acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
What is the direction of the acceleration of an object that is slowing down while heading northward?
The acceleration is opposite the direction the object is moving, so the acceleration is negative and southward.
When acceleration and velocity vectors are pointing in opposite directions the object is?
This would indicate negative acceleration, which would mean that the object in question is speeding up.
How is slowing down acceleration?
because acceleration is speed over time
What does a negative acceleration indicate?
slowing down
What is another way to say slowing down terms of acceleration?
decelerate
What is another word for deceleration?
Technically, it is acceleration either way. If something is slowing down, the acceleration is negative. Slow down or Decrease velocity

An object slowing down has a what acceleration?
Deceleration
What does a negative acceleration indicate?
slowing down
Explain why the slowing down of a moving object is considered to be a form of acceleration?
Acceleration is the change of velocity, with direction. Therefore slowing down is a change in veolcity, so is considered to be acceleration (just negative acceleration).
What is another name for acceleration?
In general, slowing down is negative acceleration. Some might call it deceleration. Braking a car or bike is a simple example of negative acceleration.
What is negative and acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
What type of acceleration do you have if you are slowing down?
Deceleration. Slowing down can also be expressed by quoting a minus number for the amount of acceleration, e.g. -5m/s.
