What else can I help you with?
Is it true or false that an object would accelerate when it is slowing down?
False. An object is slowing down when its speed is decreasing, which means it is decelerating, not accelerating in the direction of motion.
How can a car slowing down also be accelerating?
A car can be slowing down while still accelerating if its speed is decreasing but the direction of its velocity is changing. For example, if a car is moving in a curve, its speed may be decreasing but it is still accelerating towards the center of the turn. This is known as centripetal acceleration.
If a train is slowing down is it accelerating?
This depends on how you define your axes. Let's assume they're defined as normal (being positive is accelerating, negative is breaking, and for velocity positive is driving forward, negative is driving in reverse). Then of course, you are speeding up. This simply means the train was in reverse, but it's accelerating in the positive direction now.
Why are you accelerating when you go around a corner at a constant speed?
Acceleration is any change in velocity. It could be a change in speed or direction. Technically, even slowing down is acceleration.
What is the definition of acceleration sprint?
you start off jogging slowly accelerating to full speed then slowing down to a walk.
Describe the motion of a bus whose accelaration is zero but the speed is not zero?
It is slowing down. The bus is not picking up speed--accelerating--and its speed isn't zero, as it is not completely stopped. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The above answer is incorrect as slowing down indicates a negative acceleration not a zero one. The correct answer is that the bus is at a constant speed - any constant speed.
An object that is accelerating may be?
An object that is accelerating may be slowing down, gaining speed, and changing direction.
Is a car accelerating when it is coming to a stop at a light?
No, when anything is slowing down it is decelerating.
The term deceleration means?
Deceleration refers to the decrease in speed or slowing down of an object over time. It is the opposite of acceleration, which involves an increase in speed.
What is an example of an accelerating object but moves in a constant speed?
An object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is accelerating because its direction of motion is changing. The object is not speeding up or slowing down but is constantly changing its direction, which results in acceleration towards the center of the circle.
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.
What are five ways a force can change motion?
Accelerating an object by increasing its speed. Slowing down an object by reducing its speed. Changing the direction of an object's motion. Stopping an object from moving. Inducing rotation in an object.
