The object is moving down (or backwards), getting slower and slower.

Eventually, its speed will drop to zero, and it'll begin moving up (forward).

What is positive and negative acceleration?

Positive acceleration occurs when an object's velocity is increasing over time, while negative acceleration (or deceleration) happens when an object's velocity is decreasing over time. Positive acceleration can be due to speeding up, turning, or changing direction, while negative acceleration is typically caused by slowing down or stopping.


Acceleration is the rate at which happens?

Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. It is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2) and can be positive, negative, or zero depending on the direction and magnitude of the velocity change.


When velocity is zero and acceleration is negative what happens to the object in motion?

If velocity is zero and acceleration is negative, the object will start moving in the direction opposite to its previous motion. It will decelerate and eventually come to a stop before moving in the opposite direction.


When you press your bicycle's brakeswhat happens to your speedvelocityand acceleration?

your seed,velocity,and acceleration will be slow When you brake, your acceleration increases (!), your velocity decreases (and in this case, there is no difference between velocity and speed). Negative acceleration increases when braking a moving bike.


When velocity is zero and acceleration is negative what happens to an object's motion?

When velocity is zero and acceleration is negative, the object may be coming to a stop and starting to move in the opposite direction. The negative acceleration is causing the object to slow down, while the zero velocity indicates that it has momentarily come to a halt before changing direction.

How can an object slowing down have an acceleration that's not negative?

An object slowing down can have an acceleration that is not negative if it is moving in the opposite direction of its velocity. In this case, the acceleration would be in the same direction as the object's motion, even though it is slowing down. This can happen, for example, when an object is moving in the positive direction but experiencing a negative acceleration due to a force in the negative direction.


When velocity is positive and acceleration is zero what happens to an objects motion?

When acceleration is zero, then the object is moving in a straight line with constant speed. (That's the effective meaning of constant velocity.)


When velocity is zero and acceleration is negative what happens to an object's motion?

When velocity is zero and acceleration is negative, the object may be coming to a stop and starting to move in the opposite direction. The negative acceleration is causing the object to slow down, while the zero velocity indicates that it has momentarily come to a halt before changing direction.


Two words for what happens when an objects velocity decreases?

negative acceleration


What happens to a velocity when the acceleration changes?

If the acceleration changes, the velocity of an object will also change. If the acceleration increases, the velocity will increase. If the acceleration decreases, the velocity will decrease. The velocity and acceleration of an object are directly related.


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.


What happens to the velocity if acceleration is zero?

The velocity stays the same, it is constant
