Yes.

Acceleration is change in velocity.

Velocity is either change in speed or change in direction.

If you fix the speed, change in direction can account for change in velocity, i.e. acceleration.

When an object is speeding up or slowing down or turning what is it?

The object is experiencing acceleration when it is speeding up or slowing down, and turning is an example of angular acceleration. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, either in speed or direction.


An object that is accelerating maybe slowing down or speeding up?

An object that is accelerating is either speeding up or slowing down. If the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity, the object is speeding up. If the acceleration is opposite to the velocity, the object is slowing down.


What is positive and negative acceleration?

Positive acceleration occurs when an object's velocity is increasing over time, while negative acceleration (or deceleration) happens when an object's velocity is decreasing over time. Positive acceleration can be due to speeding up, turning, or changing direction, while negative acceleration is typically caused by slowing down or stopping.


How does the direction of the acceleration along determine if the object is speeding up or slowing down?

Take the component of the acceleration along the direction the object is moving. If this component is positive (the acceleration vector, or the relevant component, points in the same direction as the movement), then the object is speeding up.


Do acceleration mean to speed up and slowing down?

Acceleration refers to the rate of change of an object's velocity, which can include both speeding up and slowing down. When an object accelerates, it can increase or decrease its speed depending on whether the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity (speeding up) or in the opposite direction (slowing down).

What is negative and acceleration?

Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.


How can you recognise body getting into acceleration?

a body is accelerating if it is speeding up faster and faster. Acceleration is the change in velocity. or the change in speed. Slowing down is also acceleration but it is negative acceleration or de acceleration.


When does an object have no acceleration?

When it is stationary, or when the velocity is constant. If it is speeding up or slowing down, it has acceleration.


What is positive acceleration negative acceleration?

Positive is speeding up and negative is slowing down

What is meant by de-acceleration?

de acceleration just means slowing down. Acceleration means speeding up. Actually any change in speed is considered to be acceleration. Slowing down is called negative acceleration or (de-acceration) and speeding up is called positive excelleration.

Difference between negative and positive acceration?

Positive acceleration ==> speeding up Negative acceleration ==> slowing down
