The acceleration of a moving car is the rate at which its velocity is changing over time. It can be positive (speeding up), negative (slowing down), or zero (constant speed). Acceleration is caused by forces such as engine power, braking, or changes in direction.

What then can you say about the acceleration of the moving car?

The answer depends on when "then" is.


Why is it that their is an acceleration when a car is moving?

There is only acceleration if the car's velocity changes. If it moves at a constant velocity, then there is no acceleration.


What will be acceleration of a car moving in a circular motion with constant speed.?

If body is moving in a circle with uniform or constant speed its acceleration will be uniform as velocity i.e. to say direction is changing at every point.


What is the direction of acceleration in a moving car?

The direction of acceleration in a moving car is in the direction of the change in velocity, either speeding up or slowing down.


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


When a car is moving in reverse backing from a driveway the driver applies the brake in what direction is the car's acceleration?

The car's acceleration is in forward direction.


True or false Negative acceleration always means that a system is slowing down?

false A car can have a negative acceleration and be speeding up. A negative acceleration determines the direction of the acceleration A car with forward acceleration will speed up in the forward direction A car moving forward with a negative acceleration will slow down A car not moving with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction A car moving backward with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction


What is the acceleration of a car moving at a speed of 50mph?

If the speed is constant at 50 mph, then the acceleration is 0.


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

The car is slowing down


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.


Will it be correct to say that the car moving in a circular path with constant speed has uniform acceleration?

Well, it depends on the environment, but say we are in the most perfect environment, flat, constant friction, no air resistance, no resistance on the car's internal workings, then yes, but say it was going 30 Km/h, then it would keep accelerating until it reached 30, then it would just keep moving at 30 Km/h


Can a car moving at a constant velocity have acceleration at the same time?

No. Definitely not
