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.


Explain the circumstances in which the velocity and acceleration of the body is parallel?

the acceleration of the car is increasind.Then the v and a are parallel to each other.


When is velocity antiparallel to acceleration?

when a ball is thrown upwards velocity increases but acceleration decreases hence making it anti parallel to each other


Is angular momentum always parallel to angular acceleration?

momentum is product of moment of inertia and angular velocity. There is always a 90 degree phase difference between velocity and acceleration vector in circular motion therefore angular momentum and acceleration can never be parallel


If an objects velocity time graph is a straight line parallel to the taxis what can you conclude about the objects acceleration?

acceleration is zero


Is there any point along the path of projectile where velocity and acceleration vectors are parallel to each other?

no


How do you draw velocity and acceleration diagrams?

Velocity diagrams are drawn perpendicular to the link ....whereas acceleration diagrams are drawn by knowing the values 2 components radial or centripetal component and tangential component.......the radial component moves parallel to the link and perpendicular to the velocity diagram.....but the tangential component moves perpendicular to the link and parallel to the velocity diagram .


What is the differentiate of acceleration and deceleration?

The only difference is in the direction. Acceleration is when you increase your speed, deceleration is when you decrease your speed. Like pressing a gas pedal or brake in a car. In more technical terms, acceleration is parallel to and in the direction of velocity whereas deceleration is parallel and opposite to velocity. In any case, you can always call deceleration "Acceleration in the opposite direction of motion" In physics, both are just called "acceleration".


If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?

"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.


Is it possible for a body to have acceleration when moving constant speed and constant velocity?

No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.


Is there an acceleration when an object traveling at constant velocity and why?

No. Acceleration is change of velocity / time. If there is no change in velocity, there is no acceleration.


Is there any point along the path of projectile where velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other?

Using the term "trajectory" implies that the acceleration you are concerned about is due to gravity. Gravity will always be perpendicular to the surface. Unless the trajectory begins perpendicular to the surface, it will never change to become perpendicular and the velocity will never be in a direction parallel to the acceleration. If it starts perpendicular to the surface it will start and remain perpendicular. Of course if you have another force acting on the object - such as wind - the component of the velocity vector parallel to the ground could be reduced to zero and at that point the only remaining component of the velocity vector would be that perpendicular to the ground and parallel to the acceleration. Likewise if the object is being propelled by an engine or rocket, the trajectory could be parallel to the force any time the acceleration vector became parallel to the velocity vector.
