When an object slows down, its acceleration is negative (in a linear sense), or in a direction opposed to its motion (in a vector sense).

A car goes faster when you accelerate. It slows down when you brake.

gravity


In terms of speed and direction in what way can an object accelerate?

an object can accelerate both up and down


Why do you consider a moving object to accelerate even when it slows down or chnges direction without changing speeed?

Because that's the definition of "accelerate". "Accelerate" doesn't mean "speed up", although that's how everybody who rides in a car uses the word. "Accelerate" means "change the speed or the direction of motion, or both".


What role does friction play in the speed of an object?

It slows the object down.


Why is velocity changing?

Velocity can change due to a change in speed or direction of an object. It can also change if there is a force acting on the object, causing it to accelerate or decelerate. In simpler terms, velocity changes when an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.

What force slows down a falling object?

Gravity is the force that causes objects to fall, while air resistance or drag slows down a falling object as it moves through the air. The larger the surface area of the object, the greater the air resistance force, which opposes the force of gravity and slows the object down.
