If, as you say, its acceleration is "constant", then the average is exactly equal to that constant.

Is it possible for an object with constant negative acceleration to change the direction in which it is moving?

Sure. Anything you toss with your hand has constant acceleration after you toss it ... the acceleration of gravity, directed downward. If you toss it upward, it starts out with upward velocity, which reverses and eventually becomes downward velocity.


What is constant for freely falling body?

The acceleration due to gravity is constant for a freely falling body. This means that the object will experience a constant acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2 (on Earth) in the downward direction, regardless of its mass. This allows us to predict the motion of the object using equations of motion.


A football is kicked with a velocity of 31 ms at an angle of 41 degrees what is the balls acceleration in the vertical direction?

The acceleration in the vertical direction is due to gravity and is approximately 9.8 m/s^2 downward. The vertical acceleration remains constant throughout the ball's flight trajectory.


Can the velocity reverse the direction when acceleration is constant?

Yes, it can, if the initial velocity vector of an object was in opposite direction to its constant acceleration. Example: Anything you toss with your hand has constant acceleration after you toss it ... the acceleration of gravity, directed downward. If you toss it upward, it starts out with upward velocity, which reverses and eventually becomes downward velocity.


Describe how the velocity and acceleration of an object change as it fell from tall building?

The magnitude of the velocity will increase. The velocity will be downward - and since it increases, the acceleration will be downward. The acceleration doesn't change (it will remain constant at about 9.8 m/sec2), unless air resistance becomes significant.

When acceleration upward or downward direction is taken positivw or negative?

If it is gravitational acceleration then it it is positive in downward and negative in upward direction..if it is not gravitational acceleration then it is depending upon the value of acceleration.


Can an object with a constant acceleration reverse its direction of travel?

Of course. Anything you toss with your hand has constant acceleration after you toss it ... the acceleration of gravity, directed downward. If you toss it upward, it starts out with upward velocity, which reverses and eventually becomes downward velocity.

What is the acceleration of falling body at 0.5 seconds?

acceleration of a falling body is 9.8m/s*s and its direction is vertically downward.


Can an object reverse its direction while maintaining a constant acceleration?

One answer to this is that all object are in motion all of the time relative to all other objects. With that said, in the context of permanent halt" the only way that an object can be perceived as "halted" is by another object with the same velocity.


Which of the velocity component of projectile changes and other remain constant why?

The vertical velocity component changes due to the effect of gravity, which causes acceleration in the downward direction. The horizontal velocity component remains constant because there are no horizontal forces acting on the projectile (assuming air resistance is negligible).


How accelerate change when third force act in downward direction?

Then - according to Newton's Second Law - you would have more acceleration downward.
