Why does a car slow down when the acceleration is not applied?
TillyRich
There are MANY sources of Friction within the machine that we call a CAR. All of the moving parts experience frictional losses that result in Heat Generation, which results in Power losses. Even the tires Heat up due to rolling friction.
So, when the engine's power is reduced below the level required to overcome all those friction losses, the CAR slows down.

What is one example of negative acceleration?
A car slowing down when the brakes are applied.
When is the term negative acceleration used?
The term negative acceleration is used when something is slowing down from its motion. When pushing the brakes the car will negatively acceleration to slow down .
Car slow acceleration?
It is good of a car has a slow acceleration rate. This means that the car will probably be great on gas.
How do the direction of a car's velocity and acceleration compare when the car is slowing down?
-- Its kinetic energy decreases. -- If the process continues, the car may stop altogether.
Give you an example in which acceleration is against the direction of motion?
Brakes are applied while the car is travelling north. Acceleration is toward the south, car slows down.
3 ways to accelerate?
To change the acceleration of a car: speed up, slow down or turn. Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is "how fast" and in "what direction". To speed up is to accelerate (increase the velocity). To slow down is to deaccelerate (decrease the velocity) To turn is also a form of acceleration (changes the direction of the velocity).
Can a moving body have velocity and acceleration in opposite directions explain with in example?
Of course. A car with brakes applied and slowing down has forward velocity and rearward acceleration.
True or false Negative acceleration always means that a system is slowing down?
false A car can have a negative acceleration and be speeding up. A negative acceleration determines the direction of the acceleration A car with forward acceleration will speed up in the forward direction A car moving forward with a negative acceleration will slow down A car not moving with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction A car moving backward with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction
A sentence for negative acceleration?
Yes, negative acceleration is slowing down. Take the example of a car going from 0 to 60 mph this would be positive acceleration. If once it reaches 60 mph the foot is removed from the petal the car will continue to move but due to friction and wind resistance it will begin to slow down, while slowing down it is in negative acceleration.
AC reduce's car performance?
only when it is on, it causes slow acceleration
Two identical cars have forces applied to them Car A has a 1000 N force applied Car B has a 500 N force applied Which car will have more acceleration?
well if both the car are identical in mass the acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass since mass is same hence car having force of 1000 N will have more acceleration than 500 N one.
What type of acceleration is it when a car slows down?
Deaccelration.
