What is the direction of instantaneous acceleration?
The acceleration can be in any direction; it depends on the specific situation.
Slight acceleration is helpful in an oversteer situation?
yes
What conclusion can you draw about the acceleration is it constant increasing decresing or zero?
Depending on the situation, acceleration can be any of those.
A situation when you can accelerate but the cars' speed doesn't change?
"Acceleration" means a change of speed or direction. If the direction of your motion changes, then there is acceleration, even if your speed doesn't change.
Which situation illustrates constant acceleration?
an object in free fall and an object's velocity is decreasing by the same amount every minute
Can the velocity of an object be negitive when its acceleration is positive?
That just means that the velocity and acceleration are in oppposite directions ... exactly the situation when a car is slowing down for a stop, or a ball is tossed upward and hasn't reached the peak yet.
What would be the situation if mass were added to or lost from a system while a constant force was being applied to the system?
Since Force = Mass x Acceleration If force is held constant and one varies the mass then the acceleration will vary according to the equation: Acceleration = Force / Mass As a result, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. In other words, if one increases the mass of the object, the acceleration of the object will decrease proportionally. Similarly, if one decreases the mass of the object, the acceleration will increase proportionally.
What hasa zero velocity yet a non-zero acceleration?
For example, an object thrown upwards, when it is at its highest point. This situation is only possible for an instant - if the acceleration is non-zero, the velocity changes, and can therefore not remain at zero.
How could you describe a situation where an object velocity does not change?
if velocity is constant, that means then the net acceleration acting on the object is equal to zero
What does hesitation during acceleration mean on a 99 rodeo?
Hesitation during acceleration on a 1999 Rodeo means that when the gas pedal is pushed down, the car does not immediately accelerate. It may take a second or two for the car to accelerate in this situation.
What is a change in speed and direction called?
If an object is in motion, we apply the term speed to the distance (displacement) it achieves for a given unit of time. If we take speed and add a direction vector, as is asked here, we are talking about the velocity of the object.
A situation in which you can accelerate even though you speed does not change?
"Acceleration" means a change of speed or direction of motion, or both.If you change direction ... like turning a corner ... then there is acceleration,even though your speed is constant.Anything traveling on a circular track, even at a constant speed, has constantacceleration.
