Which term describes an increase or decrease in velocity or a change in direction?
acceleration
What term describes a decrease in volume produced by force?
Compression
What is the acceleration of a car that is going at a steady speed of 60 mph?
At a constant speed there is no acceleration. Acceleration describes a positive change in speed meaning to go faster. Deacceleration describes how fast something is slowing down. But at a constant speed of 60mph there is acceleration or deacceleration.
How can you increase or decrease acceleration?
acceleration is a change in speed or direction, so to answer your ? you slow down, speed up or make a turn :]
Does acceleration either decrease constantly or increase constantly?
No, in basic physics acceleration depends on Newton's Second Law Net Force equals mass times acceleration
Which term describes an increase or decrease in velocity or a change in direction?
acceleration
What is the meaning of engine sag in regards to performance?
The term "Sag" describes a moment of pause or decrease in acceleration when depressing the accelerator pedal.
What term describes a decrease in volume produced by force?
Compression
What term describes the decrease of the male hormone testosterone in the aging male?
Andropause
Does air resustance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling abject?
Decrease.
Can acceleration change with out increase or decrease speed?
yes the 3 types of acceleration are increased speed decrease speed or change in direction.
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 term describes the result when force is apllied to an object?
The object is given an acceleration if the force exceeds the force of static friction on the object.
What is the decrease of velocity?
Deceleration or negative acceleration.
When a body undergoes an acceleration does its speed increase or decrease?
Both. Acceleration is a change in speed.
A decrease in velocity is called what?
Negative acceleration, or deceleration.
Why is retardation called negative acceleration?
retardation is nothing but the decrease in speed. so if the increase in speed can be taken as positive then for sure decrease in speed can be taken as negative acceleration.
