What else can I help you with?
Is acceleration how fast you go or how fast you get fast?
Accelerration is the change of speed faster/slower.
What is the eighth grade definition for acceleration?
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object, either increasing or decreasing. It is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2) and can be calculated as the change in velocity divided by the change in time.
If a line is decreasing on a velocity v time graph what does it mean?
That an object is losing speed. It is experiencing negative acceleration.
Does an object experiencing a constant velocity have a zero or non-zero value for acceleration?
An object experiencing a constant velocity has zero acceleration. This is because acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity over time. When velocity is constant, there is no change in velocity, leading to zero acceleration.
How are acceleration velocity and deceleration related?
Acceleration and deceleration are both related to changes in velocity. Acceleration refers to an increase in velocity, while deceleration refers to a decrease in velocity. Both involve changes in speed over time, with acceleration increasing speed and deceleration decreasing speed.
Does acceleration refers to increasing speed decreasing speed or changing direction?
Acceleration refers to increasing or decreasing speed. When an object changes its speed, it is said to be accelerating, whether the speed is increasing or decreasing. Changing direction is related to a different aspect of motion called velocity.
What three things can acceleration mean?
Increasing speed, decreasing speed, and change of direction
What does decceleration mean?
Deceleration is the opposite of acceleration. It means decreasing speed and can be measured as negative acceleration.
Is this true or faulse That acceleration refers to increasing speed decreasing or changing?
True
In science acceleration refers to increasing speed decreasing speed or changing what?
Acceleration in science refers to the rate of change of an object's velocity, which can involve increasing speed, decreasing speed, or changing direction. It is a vector quantity that describes how an object's motion is changing over time.
Why do engine looses acceleration after a certain speed?
Acceleration is the a change in speed or direction. Once a vehicle reaches a point where it is maintaining its speed but no longer increasing (or decreasing) the acceleration is zero. Even though you may be moving rapidly it is at a constant speed.
When would acceleration be negative?
When a moving object is slowing down, i.e. its speed is decreasing.
What is the acceleration of a car going a constant speed of 100?
If the car is going at a constant speed of 100 km/h, then its acceleration is zero. Acceleration measures the rate of change of velocity, and since the car's speed is not increasing or decreasing, there is no acceleration.
What is an example of acceleration by decreasing speed?
An example of acceleration by decreasing speed is when a car is traveling at 50 miles per hour and then applies the brakes, causing the car to slow down to 30 miles per hour. The decrease in speed over time represents a negative acceleration, or deceleration, as the car is still changing its velocity.
The speed of a car moving on a straight road is decreasing on applying the brakes its velocity and acceleration are in same direction?
If the speed of the car is decreasing while the car is still moving in a straight line, this means that the velocity and acceleration are in the same direction. This is because the car is decelerating, which results in a negative acceleration in the same direction as the velocity. This negative acceleration causes the speed of the car to decrease over time.
Can a body have decreasing acceleration but increasing speed?
Of course. The magnitude (size) of acceleration is the rate at which speed is changing. As long as the magnitude of acceleration is more than zero, speed is increasing. If the magnitude of acceleration is decreasing, then speed is growing more slowly, but it's still increasing. That's exactly what's happening to an object falling through air. As it falls faster and faster, the force of air resistance increases. The object's acceleration shrinks, and it's speed increases more slowly. When the force of air resistance is equal to the object's weight, the net force on it is zero, its acceleration is zero, and its speed stops increasing. It's then at 'terminal velocity'.
What is a Simple definition of acceleration?
Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity with respect to time. It is a measure of how quickly the object's speed is increasing or decreasing.
