Generally, north, east, right, and forward are considered positive directions. South, west, left, and backward are considered negative directions. So if a body is moving south, west, left, or backward, its velocity is considered to be negative.
Yes, it is possible for a body's velocity and acceleration to be in opposite directions. This would result in the body's velocity decreasing over time while its acceleration remains negative. On a velocity-time graph, this situation would be represented by a curve that starts with a positive velocity and decreases over time.
Negative feedback.
As velocity is changing that means acceleration/deceleration is taking place. Hence, Force will not be equal to zero. However, the direction of force will depend on the direction of velocity of body. So, it's not possible to predict whether the force will be positive or negative. The net force can not be found as the dimensions of body like mass and change in velocity are not given in the question.
For a body to be momentarily stopped, its velocity must be zero at that instant. This means that there is no net force acting on the body, causing it to remain at rest for that brief moment.
Homeostasis involves negative feedback because it helps maintain internal stability by counteracting deviations from a set point. When a parameter like body temperature or blood pressure strays from its normal range, negative feedback mechanisms work to bring it back to the optimal level. This process helps regulate bodily functions and ensure that the body can function properly under varying conditions.
The 'speed' of a body cannot be negative. But if you are stating the 'velocity' then it can be negative. Negative velocity means it is going opposite to the direction that you decided to call the positive direction.
No, momentum can not have a negative velocity. Velocity is the rate of motion of a body from one position to another position in a particular direction. Bodies traveling in opposite directions may appear to have a negative velocity in relationship to each other but any amount of velocity is positive.
Yes, an object's acceleration can be a negative number if it is experiencing deceleration or moving in the opposite direction of its positive acceleration. Negative acceleration represents a decrease in velocity over time.
The problem here is the conflating of the term "speed" with "velocity". Velocity is a vector - it has both intensity and direction. Velocity can be negative. Speed really only has magnitude, so it is normally only positive; since there is no direction associated you can't define a meaning for negative speed (unless you decide to define it as synonymous with velocity) When a body is thrown in upward direction and upward motion is defined as positive velocity, its velocity decreases with time and at highest point speed and velocity become zero. When the body falls downward its speed i increases until hit the ground but since it is moving in the opposite of the direction that was defined as "positive", its velocity is negative.
No. The speed is the length of the velocity vector, and that is always zero or positive.
A body is moving at constant velocity including zero at Equilibrium Condition, No change of energy or zero force. With force a body can accelerate, move with increasing velocity.
To draw a velocity-time graph for a body thrown vertically upwards, the initial velocity will be positive (upwards) and steadily decrease due to gravity until reaching zero at the peak. After the peak, the velocity becomes negative as the body falls back down. The graph will have a symmetrical shape with the velocity decreasing and then increasing back to the initial velocity.
One condition, the net force acting on the body should not be zero.
When the body is in simple hermonic motion
The velocity of an accelerated body may be zero when it temporarily stops moving at a specific point during its acceleration process. This can happen if the body changes direction or experiences a deceleration that causes its velocity to drop to zero before changing again to increase its velocity in the opposite direction.
Yes, it is possible for a body's velocity and acceleration to be in opposite directions. This would result in the body's velocity decreasing over time while its acceleration remains negative. On a velocity-time graph, this situation would be represented by a curve that starts with a positive velocity and decreases over time.
If an external force is acting in the westward direction on the body that is greater than any eastward force or velocity the body has, then the body will experience an acceleration directed west even though its velocity is directed east.
