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 else can I help you with?
When the speed of the body moving in an straight line changes continuously then the body acquires?
When the speed of a body moving in a straight line changes continuously, the body acquires acceleration. This acceleration could be either positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down), depending on whether the speed is increasing or decreasing.
The acceleration of a body is opposite in direction to its velocity?
If that happens, the body's speed will decrease.
When can you say that a moving body has diccelerated?
A moving body is decelerating when its velocity is decreasing over time. This can be observed when the speed of the body is decreasing, or when the body is moving in the direction opposite to its initial velocity. Deceleration is the opposite of acceleration, where acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, deceleration is the rate at which the speed decreases.
When a body moving with uniform and negative acceleration?
When the body is in simple hermonic motion
Can a body have zero velocity and still be accelerating?
Yes, a body can have zero velocity and still be accelerating if its speed is changing, either increasing or decreasing, over time. This is because acceleration is a measure of how the velocity of an object is changing, regardless of its current velocity.

Does the speed of a ball increase or decrease after it hits the ground?
Once a ball has fallen a distance through the air, and it contacts the ground, its speed will rapidly decrease until it has stopped moving. The acceleration experienced by the ball is so great that it seems to stop instantly. Most likely, it will bounce back up, and then repeat this cycle a few times before coming to rest.
What is the difference between increasing velocity and uniform velocity?
Increasing velocity means that the body is accelerating and a force is acting on the body to produce the acceleration. Uniform velocity means that there is no acceleration or deceleration and so no force acts on the body. (Note that in practice we cannot achieve perpetual motion because of either the decelerating force of gravity or friction).
When a body undergoes an acceleration does its speed increase or decrease?
Both. Acceleration is a change in speed.
If a body dropped from rest has a constant acceleration in free fall is the distance traveled by the body the same for each time interval?
No, the distance traveled by the body in free fall is not the same for each time interval. The distance traveled increases with time because the body accelerates due to gravity. This means that the body covers more distance in each subsequent time interval.
In physics what is variable acceleration and please give at least two examples of it?
Variable acceleration refers to an object's velocity changing by different amounts over time. This means that the object's speed is not changing at a constant rate. An example of variable acceleration is a car speeding up as it merges onto a highway, where the acceleration is increasing. Another example is a rocket slowing down as it enters the atmosphere due to air resistance, where the acceleration is decreasing.
Can a body have zero velocity and still acceleration?
No. A velocity indicates a speed and direction. An acceleration is a change in speed or direction.
If increasing velocity is called acceleration what is increasing acceleration called?
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.
