What is positive and negative acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
When a car's velocity is negative and its acceleration is positive what is happening to the car's motion?
The car is slowing down
When a car's velocity is positive and it's acceleration is negative what is happening to the car motion?
The car is slowing down
What does a negative acceleration indicate?
slowing down
How can an object be accelerating if it's slowing down?
Acceleration doesn't mean "speeding up". It only means that the speed or direction of motion, or both, are changing. Speeding up is positive acceleration in the direction you're moving. Slowing down is negative acceleration in the direction you're moving, or positive acceleration in the opposite direction.
What is positive and negative acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
What is positive acceleration negative acceleration?
Positive is speeding up and negative is slowing down
What is negative and acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
Difference between negative and positive acceration?
Positive acceleration ==> speeding up Negative acceleration ==> slowing down
When velocity is negative and acceleration is positive what happens to an objects motion?
Its slowing down (but still moving).
When a car's velocity is negative and its acceleration is positive what is happening to the car's motion?
The car is slowing down
Why car still accelerates after slowing down?
Acceleration is a change in velocity. Assuming a constant direction, if you're speeding up that is positive acceleration. If you are slowing down, that's negative acceleration. Either way you are accelerating.
Can a car have negative velocity and positive acceleration at the same time if traveling on a highway?
Yes.If the car is backing up, but slowing down, then its velocity is in the negative direction, and its acceleration is in the positive direction.
When a car's velocity is positive and it's acceleration is negative what is happening to the car motion?
The car is slowing down
What does a negative acceleration indicate?
slowing down
How can an object slowing down have an acceleration that's not negative?
If the positive direction was defined at the outset as the direction opposite to the direction in which the object happens to be moving just now, and the object is slowing down, then the acceleration is positive because, algebraically, the object's speed is increasing in the positive direction.
What is meant by de-acceleration?
de acceleration just means slowing down. Acceleration means speeding up. Actually any change in speed is considered to be acceleration. Slowing down is called negative acceleration or (de-acceration) and speeding up is called positive excelleration.
