When you add a negative number to a positive number, you are essentially subtracting the absolute value of the negative number from the positive number. The result will depend on the specific numbers being added, but in general, the sum will be smaller than the original positive number.

What happens when you put a negative acceleration and positive acceleration together?
You add them. For example, if a block is accelerating to the right at 2 m/s2 but is being slowed by friction accelerating the block to the left at 1 m/s2, then you can add the accelerations--positive is right and negative is left. The net acceleration would be 1 m/s2 to the right.
Why is a neutral atom not charged through it is made up of positive and negative particles?
The individual particles may be charged. Each electron has a charge of -1, and each proton +1.But if the atom has the same number of electrons as protons, then there is no overall charge on the atom.It is a bit like having a bank account. Over a month, say, you may put in $200 (call it a positive of 200) and take out $200 (negative 200). But over the whole month the balance is zero.
Why does negative charge move and not positive?
An isolated positive and negative can move for example in an electric or magnetic field. But in metals only the electrons can move since the positive charge is bound to the metal lattice by attractive forces.
What happens when you rub two pieces of nylon on paper and put them together?
Rubbing nylon on paper creates a static charge on both materials. When you put them together, they may attract or repel each other based on the distribution of positive and negative charges. This phenomenon is known as triboelectric charging.
How do magnets move?
magnets have to different sides. the negative and the positive. if you put the positive against the positive then the two will repel. but if you put the negative with the positive then they will attract and will stick together. it is all part of science kid. you will learn it in 4th grade. well at least i did......:)
When you have a negative and positive in math does it become a negative?
It depends on what you do with the negative and positive. If you multiply or divide a positive number and a negative number, then the answer is negative. If you add or subtract a positive number and a negative number, the answer could be negative or positive depending on the numbers involved. If you put a negative sign in front of a positive number, the result is a negative number. If you put a positive sign in front of a negative number (like +(-7)), the result is still negative.
What happens when you add a positive with a negative?
It depends on what numbers. In general, subtract the small number from the big number, and the if the big number was negative, put a negative sign in front. If positive, put a positive sign.10+-6=4-10+6=-4or, disregard the plus and put positive first.10-6=46+-10= 6-10=-4Just put the values together
How do you solve a positive number with a negative exponent?
turn the positive number into its recipricol and the put the number of the negative number on the top
Why is it important to put negative sign in the final answer?
A negative number is not a positive number.
What happens when you put negative on positive in a car?
You will damage the electrical system of the car
What is a negative plus a positive?
When adding a negative number to a positive number, you are essentially subtracting the absolute value of the negative number from the positive number. The result will have the sign of the number with the greater absolute value. For example, -3 + 5 would be equivalent to 5 - 3, which equals 2.
Why when you multiply and negative number and a positive number it always equals a negative number?
This happens because a negative number is dominant over a positive one, so the number will multiply just as if you were multiplying even numbers, but at the end, just put a negative symbol. Also, if you multiply two negatives, they cancel themselves out, and the answer just becomes positive, but that only goes when multiplying an even amount of negative numbers together. For all of these, do the equation the same way, but at the end you may have to just add or take away a negative or positive symbol.
Adding a negative number to a positive number?
The way you add a negative number to a positive number is very simple to learn. First you need to check which number is bigger, the negative or the positive. Then you subtract the smaller number from the bigger number. Whichever number is bigger is the sign you keep. If the bigger number was positive your going to put a + in front of the answer. If its negative your going to put a minus sign in front .Here's an example: -5 + +9 = +4
What happens when you put a positive on a negative and a negative on a positive?
You will get a spark and maybe a shock. If you do this with a car battery, it may well explode and might cause injury.
Why is the number line of a number is never negative?
A number line can have both positive and negative numbers. You can put the number line in any position, but often it is represented so that numbers to the right of zero are positive, and numbers to the left of zero, negative.
Why don't you put a positive sign in front of a positive number?
Because it's redundant. If negative numbers are identified with a (-), then anything without it is unmistakably a positive number.
Which rational number is negative itself?
If you put a minus sign in front of any positive number, you get a negative number. So, since 1/2, 2, and 4/3 are positive, -1/2, -2 and -4/3 are negative.
