No. "Positive acceleration" means increasing speed. The acceleration is usually constant

in typical Physics examples and applications.

Does acceleration have a negative or positive value if the velocity is increasing speed?

In this case, acceleration is positive. Negative acceleration would cause the object to slow down (decelerate.)


What has to happen to a car's acceleration and velocity for a car's speed to increase and have a positive acceleration?

For a car's speed to increase and have a positive acceleration, the car's velocity needs to be increasing in the same direction as its acceleration. This means that the car is speeding up. When the velocity and acceleration have the same sign (both positive or both negative), the car's speed will increase.


What is called negative accelarration?

Deceleration. Negative acceleration = Velocity is decreasing by time. Positive acceleration = Velocity is increasing by time. Zero acceleration = Velocity is the same by time.


When is the acceleration of a body is positive?

A body's acceleration is positive when its velocity is increasing over time. This can happen when the body is speeding up in the same direction as its velocity, or when it is slowing down in the opposite direction of its velocity. Both scenarios result in a positive acceleration value.


When is acceleration of an object positive?

Acceleration of an object is positive when its velocity is increasing over time. This means the object is speeding up in the direction of its motion.


What is an object that has velocity and acceleration vector going the same direction?

Moving in the positive direction at an increasing speed. (Accelerating positively)


Does a softball have a positive or negative acceleration when it is thrown?

When a softball is thrown, it has a positive acceleration because its velocity is increasing with time as it moves through the air.


What is happening to an object when it has positive acceleration?

Either of these is referred to as positive acceleration: A) the object's velocity is increasing in the frame of reference B) the object is being moved in a positive direction in a coordinate plane


What does a positive acceleration mean?

Positive acceleration means that an object's velocity is increasing over time. This can happen when an object is speeding up in the direction of its motion.


What is to analyze acceleration Is it increasing or decreasing?

To analyze acceleration, you need to look at how an object's velocity is changing. If the acceleration is positive, it is increasing, meaning the object is speeding up. If the acceleration is negative, it is decreasing, which indicates the object is slowing down.


When a car's velocity is positive and its acceleration is negative what is happening to the car's motion?

It is moving in the positive direction at a rate which is increasing.


What happen to an object when it has positive acceleration?

Either of these is referred to as positive acceleration: A) the object's velocity is increasing in the frame of reference B) the object is being moved in a positive direction in a coordinate plane
