That would be deceleration.

Is stepping on the brakes of a moving car an example of acceleration?

Stepping on the brakes of a moving car is an example of


Can a moving body have velocity and acceleration in opposite directions explain with in example?

Of course. A car with brakes applied and slowing down has forward velocity and rearward acceleration.


Give you an example in which acceleration is against the direction of motion?

When a car is moving forward and the driver suddenly applies the brakes to stop, the car's acceleration is against the direction of motion. This is because the acceleration due to braking acts in the opposite direction of the car's velocity, causing it to slow down.


What are Example of acceleration which is against direction of motion?

deceleration in a linear motion (braking during driving or an object thrown up while you are standing on on earth) --> the acceleration is pointing at an opposite direction than the motion. ============================


How does braking affect acceleration in a moving vehicle?

Braking in a moving vehicle decreases acceleration by reducing the speed of the vehicle. When the brakes are applied, friction between the brake pads and the wheels slows down the vehicle, causing a decrease in acceleration.


Which is not an example of an acceleration?

An object moving at a constant speed in a straight line is not an example of acceleration. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.


What is an non example of acceleration?

Oh, dude, like, an example of non-acceleration would be when you're driving at a constant speed on a straight road and not changing your velocity. So, like, if you're cruising at a steady 60 mph and not hitting the gas or brakes, that's a non-example of acceleration. It's like being in a state of motionless motion, man.


What is the negative acceleration?

Negative acceleration is the state of a body whose velocity in a specified direction is becoming smaller. If you apply the brakes while driving a car, the car (and you) will undergo negative acceleration in the direction in which the car was moving.


What is an example of Circular acceleration?

a satellite in orbit; it is moving at constant speed but is accelerating outward in circular acceleration, balanced by gravity acceleration (centripetal force).


Can object have zero acceleration and nonzero velocity at the same time.give example?

Yes, an object moving at a constant velocity has zero acceleration even though it has a non-zero velocity. For example, a car driving at a steady speed on a straight highway has a constant velocity but zero acceleration.


The speed of a car moving on a straight road is decreasing on applying the brakes its velocity and acceleration are in same direction?

If the speed of the car is decreasing while the car is still moving in a straight line, this means that the velocity and acceleration are in the same direction. This is because the car is decelerating, which results in a negative acceleration in the same direction as the velocity. This negative acceleration causes the speed of the car to decrease over time.


What is a real life example of acceleration?

You have acceleration any time a velocity changes - like when an object falls down due to gravity, when a car starts or stops, when you start moving or stop moving, etc.
