What else can I help you with?
When your slowing down is your acceleration positive or negative?
When you are slowing down, your acceleration is negative. This is because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and when you are slowing down, your velocity is decreasing. A negative acceleration indicates a decrease in velocity in the given direction.
If a car is slowing down can its acceleration be positive?
No, if a car is slowing down, its acceleration is negative. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity, so if the car's velocity is decreasing, its acceleration is in the opposite direction.
What is the direction of acceleration in a moving car?
The direction of acceleration in a moving car is in the direction of the change in velocity, either speeding up or slowing down.
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.
Why slowing down of an object is considered to be form of acceleration?
When an object slows down, its velocity decreases. Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, slowing down involves a negative acceleration. This is because the velocity is changing in the direction opposite to the initial motion.
When your slowing down is your acceleration positive or negative?
When you are slowing down, your acceleration is negative. This is because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and when you are slowing down, your velocity is decreasing. A negative acceleration indicates a decrease in velocity in the given direction.

When a car's velocity is positive and it's acceleration is negative what is happening to the car motion?
The car is slowing down
Can a car have negative velocity and positive acceleration at the same time if traveling on a highway?
Yes.If the car is backing up, but slowing down, then its velocity is in the negative direction, and its acceleration is in the positive direction.
Is it true if an object is speeding up its acceleration is positiveif an object is slowing downits acceleration is negative?
Yes, that's correct. If an object is speeding up, its acceleration will be positive because the velocity and acceleration are in the same direction. On the other hand, if an object is slowing down, its acceleration will be negative because the velocity and acceleration are in opposite directions.
What is a moving object that has a velocity vector and acceleration vector in the opposite direction?
This is a moving object that is slowing down.
Explain why the slowing down of a moving object is considered to be a form of acceleration?
Acceleration is the change of velocity, with direction. Therefore slowing down is a change in veolcity, so is considered to be acceleration (just negative acceleration).
What is an object changing direction an example of?
An object changing direction is an example of acceleration. When an object changes its velocity, either by speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction, it is experiencing acceleration, which is the rate of change of velocity.
Is acceleration a change in the position of an object?
Yes. Acceleration is a change in velocity. As velocity is a vector (direction and speed) changing either the speed or direction will change the velocity and thus be an acceleration (or decelleration)
