Can acceleration change with out increase or decrease speed?

yes the 3 types of acceleration are increased speed decrease speed or change in direction.


The rate of change in the speed of an object is called?

Acceleration, it can be both increase and decrease in speed. .


How speed increase by applying force?

Applying more force in the direction of travel will increase the acceleration and therefore speed. If more force is applyed opposite to the direction of travel, acceleration will decrease.


What is An increase of speed during a given interval of time is called negative acceleration?

Actually, an increase in speed during a given interval of time is called acceleration, not negative acceleration. Negative acceleration, also known as deceleration, refers to a decrease in speed over time.


Does a car undergo acceleration when you step on the brake?

No, when you step on the brake, the car undergoes deceleration. Braking causes the car to slow down by applying a force in the direction opposite to its motion, leading to a decrease in speed. Acceleration refers to an increase in speed or a change in velocity.


An increase of speed during a given interval of time is called negative acceleration?

No, it's only the acceleration. By (-)ve acceleration ,it means retardation or deceleration..


How are acceleration and speed alike?

They are not alike but they are related. A positive acceleration means an increase in velocity (speed). A negative acceleration means a decrease in velocity. Velocity (speed) has the dimensions of distance / time. Acceleration has the dimensions of distance/time2 or velocity/time.

How is speed velocity acceleration related?

Speed is the rate of motion usually expressed as distance traveled per unit of time.Velocity is the rate of change of position. Both speed and direction are required. Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. In common speech, acceleration is only for an increase in speed; a decrease in speed is deceleration. In physics, any increase or decrease in speed or change of direction is referred to as acceleration.

Under what two conditions will you change velocity and thus acceleration or decceleration?

You either increase or decrease the speed


What happens to an objects speed if it travels with constant acceleration?

If an object travels with constant acceleration, its speed will change at a constant rate over time. The object's speed will increase if the acceleration is positive, decrease if it is negative, and remain constant if the acceleration is zero.


What 3 kinds of change motion are called acceleration?

1). increase of speed 2). decrease of speed 3). change of direction of motion
