When the acceleration of an object is negative is?
When the acceleration of an object is negative, it means the object is slowing down. This could be due to a force acting in the opposite direction of its motion or a decrease in the object's speed.
What does a negative acceleration position-time graph indicate about the motion of an object?
A negative acceleration position-time graph indicates that the object is slowing down or decelerating.
Can acceleration ever be negative?
Acceleration is negative when the object is moving in the opposite direction. on a graph the line would be in the negative quadrant.
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).
When is the term negative acceleration used?
The term negative acceleration is used when something is slowing down from its motion. When pushing the brakes the car will negatively acceleration to slow down .

How does a negative or positive acceleration affect motion?
It can change the direction of motion or it can speed up or slow down an object.

How can an object slowing down have an acceleration that's not negative?
If the positive direction was defined at the outset as the direction opposite to the direction in which the object happens to be moving just now, and the object is slowing down, then the acceleration is positive because, algebraically, the object's speed is increasing in the positive direction.
Can an object be moving if acceleration is zero?
Yes. Acceleration is defined as a change of speed and/or direction of motion. If the speed and direction of motion are constant, then there is no acceleration.
Can acceleration be a negative number?
Yes, the scalar value of acceleration can be a negative number. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. If the speed of an object is reducing (it is slowing down), then the object is subject to a negative acceleration. An example is when you apply the brakes in a car. The brakes change the speed of the car from a higher value to a lower value, thus imposing a negative acceleration. Colloquially, people speak of deceleration, however the correct term is negative acceleration.
When does something accelerate in the direction opposite to its direction of motion?
An object accelerates in the direction opposite to its motion when a force acts in the opposite direction to its velocity. This is known as deceleration or negative acceleration, and it occurs when there is a force opposing the object's motion, causing it to slow down.
What is a oscillating acceleration?
Oscillating acceleration refers to the repeated back-and-forth motion of an object's acceleration, where the magnitude and direction of acceleration change over time. This type of motion is common in systems like pendulums or springs where the acceleration alternates between positive and negative values.
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.
