Yes , there is a constant acceleration is the y- axis. and that acceleration is called acceleration due to gravity or Gravity. Gravity attracts every falling body which is on y axis. that's why the gravity is on y axis which is constant

How do you work out the deceleration?

Same as acceleration - just remember that "deceleration" is an acceleration in a direction opposite to the direction of movement.Same as acceleration - just remember that "deceleration" is an acceleration in a direction opposite to the direction of movement.Same as acceleration - just remember that "deceleration" is an acceleration in a direction opposite to the direction of movement.Same as acceleration - just remember that "deceleration" is an acceleration in a direction opposite to the direction of movement.


What is on the x axis and y axis on both a speed and acceleration graph?

Conventionally, the x axis is time and usually the y axis is, respectively, radial speed and radial acceleration. In such examples, the y-variables are measured in one direction from a fixed point (the origin). Motion across that direction is usually ignored.


When a cart is changing direction is it acceleration?

Consider a graph paper with Axis X and Y. Cart travel in X direction but suddenly, the cart change direction and so it must reduce velocity on X and increase velocity on Y. Net velocity might be the same but small acceleration and deceleration is apply in 2 dimension motion.


What is acceleration since it has magnitude and direction?

Acceleration is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.


Does change in direction cause acceleration?

Not necessarily. Changing direction does affect the velocity, which is acceleration and direction combined.


What is the direction of instantaneous acceleration?

The acceleration can be in any direction; it depends on the specific situation.


Why at a constant speed if an object changes its direction it is considered to be acceleration?

Acceleration is a direction plus a speed. If either changes then the acceleration changes.


Can the velocity of object reverse direction when its acceleration is constant?

yes, if the acceleration is in the opposite direction of the velocity.


What is the rate at which speed or direction changes?

Acceleration


Is the acceleration of a rocket a vector or scalar?

It is a vector. A scalar has only magnitude. A vector has magnitude and direction.Acceleration is a vector because it has magnitude and direction. That's why an object can be said to be accelerating if it has a circular rotation and a constant speed; even though it's speed isn't changing, it's direction constantly is. Displacement (s), velocity (v), and acceleration (a), are vectors because they have both magntude and direction.


What is to change direction?

acceleration in a direction that is not parallel to the direction you are moving


What is Changed direction?

acceleration in a direction that is not parallel to the direction you are moving
