What happens when velocity is negative and acceleration is positive?

The object is moving down (or backwards), getting slower and slower. Eventually, its speed will drop to zero, and it'll begin moving up (forward).


What three things can unbalanced forces do to an object?

An unbalanced force can only do one thing: accelerate a mass. This may mean making it change direction, speed up or slow down, begin or stop spinning, cause it to deform or change shape, and many other actions.


If a freely falling object was equiped with a speedometer its speed reading would increase how?

If a freely falling object was equipped with a speedometer (which was somehow referenced to the surface of the earth), the speed reading would increase smoothly and steadilyfrom the point that it was dropped until it reaches terminal velocity. The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the 2 objects and directly proportional to their masses.Neglecting air resistance, the object will begin to fall and accelerate at a rate of approximately 9.8 m/s^2 and will continue accelerating until it hits the ground. Taking air resistance into account, an object will begin to accelerate until the force of drag equals the acceleration, at which point it will continue to fall at a constant speed.


Why do you lean to the left when the car is turning right?

You lean to the right as your car turns left because of the momentum. While you are driving in a straight line the car and you have forward momentum as the car turns to the left its changing the trajectory of its momentum but since you are not really part of the car you keep following the forward momentum that you had to begin with. So it appears as if you are leaning right but in reality you are just continuing the original forward momentum but due to the cars seat belt you are being pulled by the car and still moving forward giving you the feeling that you are leaning to the right. As you break down the physics further you really are the tangent acceleration along the turning radius of the car. It all makes much more sense when you understand the fundamentals of calculus.


What causes the speed of an object to decrease?

An object that is slowing down is moving or in motion until it stops.It is not necessarily accelerating, as an accelerating object will begin traveling in the opposite direction after it stops. For example, a ball thrown into the air will slow down as the force of the earth's gravity causes it to accelerate downwards. For an instant, the ball will be motionless before moving towards the earth.

What is used to accelerate protons?

It is the particle accelerator that we use to accelerate protons in the physics lab. (Accelerators can accelerate other things, too.) There are a number of different accelerators, and they include the cyclotron, the synchrotron, the tevatron, and the new LHC (Large Hadron Collider) to name a few. Use the link below to begin investigating these and other similar machines.
