What is negative acceleration?
Negative Acceleration:Negative Acceleration refers to an object whose speed decreases as it moves away from its original starting position.Actually, that's not entirely correct. Acceleration is a vector quantity and, therefore, depends on direction. If an object is moving in a straight line, in the negative direction, its acceleration is positive if its speed decreases with time and negative if its speed increases with time.Think of it this way: if the acceleration vector is pointed in the same direction as the way an object is moving, the object speeds up. If the acceleration vector is pointed opposite the direction of motion, it slows down.
When an object experiences centripetal accelerationin which direction does it accelerate?
Its changing direction ;)
Is push a balanced force or an unbalanced force?
It is balanced when there is no consequential motion (example: pushing against a wall). In that case the reaction of whatever is receiving the force exactly equals it, in the opposed direction. If there is consequential motion, the force is said to be unbalanced, with an acceleration occurring of force/mass. D'Alembert pointed out that even in that case, the quantity "F-ma" is zero, leading to D'Alermbert's Principle, that if a force causes an acceleration, then it can be said that the force F is precisely balanced by a fictitious force of magnitude m.a in a direction opposite to the acceleration, so the system can be solved as if a static problem.
Why does acceleration due to gravity always point vertical downward?
Acceleration due to gravity is due to the force of gravitation exerted on a body by the earth. All bodies get attracted towards the centre of the earth. So the acceleration is always pointed vertically downwards.
Why does a rocket accelerate upwards?
A rocket accellerates in whatever direction it's pointed. Another way to put this is to say that a rocket accelerates in the opposite direction of its engine exhaust. See Newton's 2nd law of motion.

What has a circular bases with curve surface and its pointed with one and?
A cone.

If a moving body has no acceleration does it mean that no force is acting on it?
It means there is no net force acting on it. A plane in the air has no acceleration, but it does have forces acting on it. Lift pushes it up Gravity pushes it down Air resistance opposes its movement Thrust provides movement When all these forces are equal the plane will move at a constant velocity. If one of these forces becomes greater the NET force on the plane will no longer be 0 and there will be an acceleration or deceleration. Hope that helps. Another example would be space as there are no opposing forces, if in space once a speed was that speed would be constant until you 1.) decelerated with a force in the opposite direction 2.) accelerated the speed past your current velocity in your current direction 3.) Get caught by some planets gravity and crash to you death (but then this question is the least of your problems)
In what direction should the earpieces of the stethoscope be pointed?
In the ear
How do you speed up?
To speed up, or slow down, or change direction, are all forms of acceleration (to a physicist at least; in the world of non-physicists, the term deceleration is generally used to describe slowing down, as distinct from acceleration) and as Isaac Newton pointed out, hundreds of years ago, force equals mass times acceleration, from which we may infer that what you need to speed up is force.
What phobia is the fear of people staring at you?
Belonephobia is the fear of pointed objects, but not of of pointed objects pointed in your direction.
What does a track rod do?
Allows a wheel to be pointed in a fixed direction.
How can you see Uranus from earth?
With a telescope, pointed in the right direction.
Should it be written as detail oriented or detail-oriented?
"Orientation" is a noun, meaning the direction something is pointed. "Oriented" is a verb form and adjective meaning pointed that way. "Detail-oriented" means pointed in the direction of detail, concerned with detail. "He has a detail-oriented approach" means he concerns himself with details. "Detail orientation" means the direction the detail is pointed, not perhaps a very useful phrase, since detail is rarely pointed in any direction.
What is the time taken to insert an element after an element pointed by some pointer?
Constant time.
What is the direction of the dipole moment expected for methanol?
It should be pointed towards the oxygen.
