What else can I help you with?
What does a negative acceleration indicate?
A negative acceleration indicates that an object is slowing down. It means that the velocity of the object is decreasing over time.
An object that is accelerating maybe slowing down or speeding up?
An object that is accelerating is either speeding up or slowing down. If the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity, the object is speeding up. If the acceleration is opposite to the velocity, the object is slowing down.
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.
What is a moving object that has a velocity vector and acceleration vector in the opposite direction?
This is a moving object that is slowing down.
When is acceleration become negative?
Acceleration becomes negative when an object is slowing down or decelerating. This occurs when the direction of the acceleration is opposite to the direction of the object's velocity.
An object slowing down has a what acceleration?
Deceleration

An object that is slowing down is undergoing acceleration?
no, deceleration.

An object slowing down has what type of acceleration?
Negative acceleration, also known as deceleration.
When does an object have no acceleration?
When it is stationary, or when the velocity is constant. If it is speeding up or slowing down, it has acceleration.
How can an object slowing down have an acceleration that's not negative?
If the positive direction was defined at the outset as the direction opposite to the direction in which the object happens to be moving just now, and the object is slowing down, then the acceleration is positive because, algebraically, the object's speed is increasing in the positive direction.
What is a moving object that has a velocity vector and acceleration vector in the opposite direction?
This is a moving object that is 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).
When is acceleration become negative?
Acceleration becomes negative when an object is slowing down or decelerating. This occurs when the direction of the acceleration is opposite to the direction of the object's velocity.
Is it possible for an object to be slowing down while it's acceleration is increasing in magnitude?
If the object is moving in a positive direktion along its x-axis and the acceleration is in the opposite direction (negative acceleration, i.e. retardation), then yes. Lets say the acceleration is -2 m/s^2 and its increasing with a magnitude of 2 then the new acceleration would be -4 m/s^2. Sure, the object was already slowing down but now its slowing down even more.
