Yes. Newton's law, F=ma, should be interpreted as netforce equals mass times acceleration; net force meaning that all forces should be taken into account. If the accelrating force of gravitation (plus froce from the motor, if it is used) is exactly compensated by a braking force of friction, then the acceleration will be zero - speed will be constant.

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)


Is how fast velocity is changing at a specific instant?

The rate at which velocity is changing at a specific instant is called acceleration. It measures how quickly an object's velocity is changing, either by speeding up (positive acceleration) or slowing down (negative acceleration). It is the second derivative of an object's position with respect to time.


Why does my 2006 Pontiac pursuit rives and then back down while driving?

try changing the throttle position sensor


What is rate of change acceleration?

Rate of change of acceleration is the derivative of acceleration with respect to time, commonly denoted as the second derivative of position with respect to time. It measures how quickly the acceleration of an object is changing over time, indicating whether the object is speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.


What are the three condition of the acceleration?

The three conditions of acceleration are speeding up (positive acceleration), slowing down (negative acceleration or deceleration), and changing direction (centripetal acceleration).


Is a book at rest on a table with gravity pulling down an example of acceleration?

Acceleration is zero in this case. Acceleration means the velocity is actually changing.


Is the rate of your velocity change your acceleration?

Yes, the rate of change of velocity is equal to acceleration. This means that if an object's velocity is changing, it is experiencing acceleration, either by speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.


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.


What does a negative acceleration position-time graph indicate about the motion of an object?

A negative acceleration position-time graph indicates that the object is slowing down or decelerating.


What is changing speed?

Change in speed (more precisely change in velocity) is called acceleration.


Acceleration includes what three things?

changing direction, speeding up, and slowing down


When two forces are what there is a change in position or motion?

When two forces act in opposite directions and are not balanced, there is a change in position or motion known as acceleration. This can result in an object speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction depending on the magnitudes and directions of the forces.
