What is the example of acceleration is against the direction of motion?
-- putting the brakes on, in order to slow the car down; -- lifting the spoilers on the airplane wing, in order to reduce airspeed OR stop on the runway; -- firing rockets forward in the direction the Space Shuttle is moving, in order to reduce velocity and drop out of orbit; -- tossing a rock or a ball straight up in the air; the acceleration of gravity is downward, so the ball slows down and stops, before it starts falling; -- Just before the rock hits the ground, it has some speed. When it hits the ground, it feels a large acceleration UPWARD against its motion, and a split second later, its speed is zero.
Can the velocity be positive or negative?
Yes, velocity can be negative. Velocity is a vector, which means that it specifies a speed and a direction. However, whether it's negative depends on how the coordinate system is defined. If the right hand side is defined as being positive, then an object traveling to the right has a velocityv.If that object begins traveling to the left, it has a velocity of -v.
