What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
How does the elevator's acceleration change when it is moving downward?
When an elevator is moving downward, its acceleration changes to be negative, meaning it is slowing down.
What is the direction of acceleration in a moving car?
The direction of acceleration in a moving car is in the direction of the change in velocity, either speeding up or slowing down.
What is a moving object that has a velocity vector and acceleration vector in the opposite direction?
This is a moving object that is slowing down.
Can you move to the right when acceleration is to the left?
Yes. If acceleration is opposite to the direction in which you're moving, then you're slowing down.
Acceleration is negative if?
Acceleration is negative if the object is slowing down or moving in the opposite direction of the velocity vector.
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.
When would acceleration be negative?
When a moving object is slowing down, i.e. its speed is decreasing.
When velocity is negative and acceleration is positive what happens to an objects motion?
Its slowing down (but still moving).
Is the retardation means zero acceleration?
No, retardation refers to a negative acceleration, which means the object is slowing down. A zero acceleration means the object is moving at a constant velocity.
What is the acceleration of a car that moves at a steady velocity of 100 kmh for 100 seconds Explain your answer and state why this question is an exercise in careful reading as well as in physics?
Acceleration = 0 because the car is moving at a STEADY velocity. It is neither speeding up, nor slowing down.
