You are confusing terms.
An acceleration is a change in velocity not necessarily an increase in velocity, it is a change.
A change in velocity is brought about by a force acting upon a body.

Is it possible for an object to have an increasing velocity and an increasing acceleration?

If your acceleration is increasing then by default your velocity has to increase. Acceleration = velocity/time so if acceleration is increasing the velocity is also increasing... And just for fun, just as the change in distance is velocity, and change in velocity is acceleration with respect to time, the change in acceleration with respect to Time is called a jerk


What conclusion can you draw about the acceleration is it constant increasing decresing or zero?

If acceleration is constant, it means the velocity is changing at a constant rate. If acceleration is increasing, it means the velocity is increasing at an increasing rate. If acceleration is decreasing, it means the velocity is increasing at a decreasing rate. If the acceleration is zero, it means there is no change in velocity.


What is the rate at which velocity change called?

The rate at which velocity changes is called acceleration. Acceleration is the measure of how quickly an object's velocity is changing, either increasing or decreasing. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.


The rate velocity changes with time?

The rate at which velocity changes with time is called acceleration. It measures how quickly an object is speeding up or slowing down. If an object's velocity is increasing, the acceleration is positive, and if it is decreasing, the acceleration is negative.


When velocity is increasing can acceleration remains constant?

Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is made up of a magnitude (the speed), and a direction. Velocity can change if the speed increases, if it decreases, or if the direction changes. For example, when a car goes around a curve, you feel the force of the acceleration.

What is called negative accelarration?

Deceleration. Negative acceleration = Velocity is decreasing by time. Positive acceleration = Velocity is increasing by time. Zero acceleration = Velocity is the same by time.

If acceleration is constant, it means the velocity is changing at a constant rate. If acceleration is increasing, it means the velocity is increasing at an increasing rate. If acceleration is decreasing, it means the velocity is increasing at a decreasing rate. If the acceleration is zero, it means there is no change in velocity.

When acceleration increase does velocity increase?

No. Acceleration IS a change of velocity - any change. When velocity increases, there IS acceleration. The acceleration itself may be increasing, decreasing, or remain constant.


Explain the circumstances when the acceleration and the velocity of car are parallel?

when velocity of a car is increasing then velocity and acceleration are parallel to each other.

Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is made up of a magnitude (the speed), and a direction. Velocity can change if the speed increases, if it decreases, or if the direction changes. For example, when a car goes around a curve, you feel the force of the acceleration.


How is increasing speed acceleration?

By definition acceleration is the change in velocity (speed).


Why does the slope of a velocity time graph give you acceleration?

if there is a slope, the velocity is either increasing or decreasing. This is acceleration.


What is the direction of instantaneous acceleration?

The direction of instantaneous acceleration is in the direction of the change in velocity at that moment. If the velocity is increasing, the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity. If the velocity is decreasing, the acceleration is in the opposite direction of the velocity.


What do you call the process of increasing speed?

The process of increasing speed is called acceleration. It measures how quickly the velocity of an object changes over time.
