Want this question answered?
No. Acceleration is Delta-Velocity / Delta-Time. If Acceleration is negative then that means that either Delta Velocity is negative or Delta Time is negative---which is not practical. For Acceleartion to be negative, that means the Velocity has to Decrease. (where Delta Velocity is change in Velocity or V2 - V1)
The rate of change of velocity, either increasing or decreasing, is its acceleration or deceleration.
If your acceleration is increasing then by default your velocity has to increase. Acceleration = velocity/time so if acceleration is increasing the velocity is also increasing... And just for fun, just as the change in distance is velocity, and change in velocity is acceleration with respect to time, the change in acceleration with respect to Time is called a jerk
If you are decreasing velocity, you are undergoing negative acceleration.
In this case, acceleration is positive. Negative acceleration would cause the object to slow down (decelerate.)
Deceleration. Negative acceleration = Velocity is decreasing by time. Positive acceleration = Velocity is increasing by time. Zero acceleration = Velocity is the same by time.
if there is a slope, the velocity is either increasing or decreasing. This is acceleration.
No. Acceleration IS a change of velocity - any change. When velocity increases, there IS acceleration. The acceleration itself may be increasing, decreasing, or remain constant.
No. Acceleration is Delta-Velocity / Delta-Time. If Acceleration is negative then that means that either Delta Velocity is negative or Delta Time is negative---which is not practical.

The rate of change of velocity, either increasing or decreasing, is its acceleration or deceleration.
If an object is sustaining a constant velocity it has 0 acceleration, because acceleration is either increasing or decreasing speed.

-- On the way down, its speed is increasing, which is a change in velocity, i.e. an acceleration. -- At the bounce, its direction changes, which is a change in velocity, i.e. an acceleration. -- On the way up, its speed is decreasing, which is a change in velocity, i.e. an acceleration.
Concave up. "Acceleration is increasing with time" tells us that the derivative of acceleration is positive. Since acceleration is the derivative of velocity, this means that the second derivative of velocity is positive. By definition, having a non-negative second derivative means that velocity is concave up.
Acceleration.
