Yes.

Acceleration by definition is a change in velocity, which is a change in speed, which could mean going faster or slower.

Does speed affect acceleration?

Yes, speed does affect acceleration. Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity, so if an object is already moving at a higher speed, it will require more acceleration to increase its speed further.


What is the acceleration of a car going a constant speed of 100?

If the car is going at a constant speed of 100 km/h, then its acceleration is zero. Acceleration measures the rate of change of velocity, and since the car's speed is not increasing or decreasing, there is no acceleration.


How does a change in speed affect acceleration?

Acceleration is directly proportional to the change in speed. If the speed increases, acceleration is positive. If the speed decreases, acceleration is negative. The magnitude of acceleration is determined by the rate at which the speed changes.


What factors that affect the speed of a car?

What part of an automobile's engine has a direct impact on the acceleration rate of the vehicle as well as what do I do to improve that vehicles acceleration rate.


What is the acceleration of a car moving along a straight line path that increases its speed from zero?

The acceleration of the car is equal to the rate of change of its speed over time. When a car goes from zero speed to a higher speed, it experiences positive acceleration in the direction of its motion.


Why does the acceleration of an object affect the speed?

Acceleration is simply a measurement of how the speed is changing, over time.


How does gravity effect the speed of a toy car?

Gravity affects the speed of a toy car by pulling it downward, which can increase its acceleration when moving downhill and decrease its acceleration when moving uphill. The force of gravity can also affect the traction of the tires on different surfaces, influencing the overall speed and performance of the toy car.


A car is moving at a constant speed is it accelerating?

This is one of those theoretical situations, like the frictionless surface you will see in physics problems. The short answer is that no, a car travelling at a constant speed is not accelerating. Acceleration is a change in velocity over time. Velocity is speed, so if you have zero change in velocity over a period of time, you have acceleration of zero. In the real world, you will have other factors acting on the vehicle, which would affect the acceleration.


Does the height of a car affect a car's speed?

The cross sectional area of a car is dependent on its height. As the area changes the drag on the car, it is likely that increasing the height of a car will also reduce its top speed. There are many other factors that affect a car's maximum speed so a change in height may not always result in a change in top speed.


What is the acceleration of a car that is going at a steady speed of 60 mph?

At a constant speed there is no acceleration. Acceleration describes a positive change in speed meaning to go faster. Deacceleration describes how fast something is slowing down. But at a constant speed of 60mph there is acceleration or deacceleration.


What is the acceleration of car that travels in a straight line at constant speed?

Straight line at a constant speed = no acceleration


What is the acceleration of a car moving at a speed of 50mph?

If the speed is constant at 50 mph, then the acceleration is 0.
