Is it true or false that an object would accelerate when it is slowing down?

False. An object is slowing down when its speed is decreasing, which means it is decelerating, not accelerating in the direction of motion.


What are other names for slowing down?

Decreasing motion, Decreasing, Decreasing speed, Stopping


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

Its slowing down (but still moving).


What force is responsible for the slowing down?

The force responsible for slowing down an object in motion is typically friction. Friction is the resistance force that opposes the motion of an object as it moves across a surface. This force converts the kinetic energy of the object into heat energy, causing it to slow down.


What would a negative acceleration tell you about the object in motion?

the car is at a constant speed---------------------------------------------------------I'm pretty sure that if the acceleration is negative, the car is slowing down. But if the velocity is negative, the car is either heading south or down (velocity refers to speed and direction.. according to my physics teacher).


What is the force acting backwards on a car in motion?

Air resistance / drag and friction are both forces which act in the opposite direction to the motion of a car


How does fricction effect the movement of object?

It provides a force in the direction opposite to the objects motion thus slowing it down.


What does an object with a uniform motion have?

An object with uniform motion has a constant speed and direction. This means it travels at the same velocity without speeding up or slowing down.


What way does friction move?

Friction acts in the opposite direction of the motion between two surfaces. It resists the relative motion of the surfaces, slowing down or stopping the movement.


What are five ways that an objects motion can change?

An object's motion can change by speeding up, slowing down, changing direction, changing speed, or coming to a complete stop.


Gradually slowing down?

Gradually slowing down is 'decelerating'.


When a broom falls does it accelerate or decelerate?

The falling motion of the broom is the acceleration of the broom The broom hitting the floor and slowing down is the deceleration of the broom. Remember, acceleration is the speeding up and deceleration is the slowing down (De is the Latin root meaning down, so down in speed/ decreasing in speed...)
