When an object is speeding up to the right what direction is the acceleration?

The acceleration would be in the direction of the object's motion, which is to the right.


Is it possible for an object to have an acceleration when the speed of the object is constant?

Yes, if apply at the right angles the acceleration can change the object's current direction without effecting its speed.


Is acceleration how quickly an object's velocity changes?

Yes, acceleration is the how the velocity changes. This also includes when an object turns


How do you find an objecets acceleration from its mass and force acting on it?

You can find an object's acceleration by dividing the force acting on it by its mass. The formula is: acceleration = force / mass. This will give you the acceleration of the object in the direction of the force.


What happens when velocity and acceleration are not in the same direction?

When velocity and acceleration are not in the same direction, the object's speed may be changing. If the acceleration and velocity are in opposite directions, the object will slow down. If they are at right angles to each other, the object will change direction without changing speed.


An example of acceleration against the direction of motion?

If an object is moving to the right with a velocity vector of 5 m/s, and then a force is applied to the left causing the object to slow down, it experiences acceleration against the direction of motion. This acceleration would act in the left direction, opposing the object's initial motion to the right.


What does a positive slope on a velocity and time graph mean in terms of motion?

A positive slope on a velocity-time graph indicates that the object is moving in the positive direction (e.g., right or up) and experiencing a constant acceleration. The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration of the object.


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 is the difference between tangential and radial acceleration?

Answer Both refer to an object that is in a cirular motion. Radial Acceleration is a velocity change of the object as it moves away from the center of rotation. Tangential Velocity is a change of velocity of the object as it moves in a line that is tangential to the circular path it is moving.


How do you determine the acceleration of an object if the the force on the object and the mass of the object is known?

First you use the formula F=A+P. Which stands for Feeling = Acceleration + Phase It initially is abbreviated to "FAPing" You have to FAP and FAP and FAP until you find the right set of motion. And remember, DON'T STOP FAPPING!


Why is the acceleration of an object moving at a constant velocity always 0?

Acceleration is the change in velocity of an object. If an object is travelling at an unchanging speed, its speed is neither increasing (which would make a positive acceleration) nor decreasing (which would make a negative acceleration). Thus, the acceleration is 0.


What is coriolis component of acceleration?

The Coriolis component of acceleration is the acceleration due to the rotation of the Earth. It causes objects moving across the surface of the Earth to be deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. This acceleration is perpendicular to the velocity of the object and is a result of the Coriolis effect.
