Acceleration is defined as change of velocity so the answer to the question is yes. Negative acceleration (ie when velocity is decreasing) is called deceleration.
An object that is accelerating is either speeding up or slowing down. If the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity, the object is speeding up. If the acceleration is opposite to the velocity, the object is slowing down.
False. An object is slowing down when its speed is decreasing, which means it is decelerating, not accelerating in the direction of motion.
When an object is accelerating, it can experience changes in velocity, either speeding up or slowing down. Additionally, the object can also experience a change in direction as it accelerates. The forces acting on the object may also change in magnitude and direction.
An object that is accelerating may be slowing down, gaining speed, and changing direction.
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.
Accelerating an object by increasing its speed. Slowing down an object by reducing its speed. Changing the direction of an object's motion. Stopping an object from moving. Inducing rotation in an object.
An object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is accelerating because its direction of motion is changing. The object is not speeding up or slowing down but is constantly changing its direction, which results in acceleration towards the center of the circle.
False. A negative slope on the velocity vs time graph indicates that the object is decelerating or slowing down, but it is still accelerating in the opposite direction.
No, when anything is slowing down it is decelerating.
If the object is not moving, or is traveling at a constant velocity, all forces acting on the object are equal and opposite to each other. If the object is accelerating (speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction) the forces are not balanced.
Deceleration is the negative of acceleration when the object is slowing down. However, it's important to note that deceleration is actually a type of acceleration, where the object is accelerating in the opposite direction of its initial velocity.
It is not at rest.
