Best Answer

Most likely you have a bad "universal joint" or "U-joint". There are two: one on each end of the main driveshaft It could be either one that is causing the symptoms, but if that is the fix, you might as well change both since it is a relatively cheap fix. Don't ignore it too long because as it gets worse, the driveshaft can drop to the ground and you will be stuck. It could also be the "rear end" itself which is much more money to replace.

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


How is a negative acceleration different from a positive acceleration?

Actually, it depends on how you define the coordinate axes, but usually when moving forward, negative acceleration decreasesspeed, positive acceleration increasesit.
