It accelerates in the opposite direction. Its velocity increases in the opposite direction to the direction that has been assigned positive.
Positive acceleration occurs when an object's velocity is increasing over time, while negative acceleration occurs when an object's velocity is decreasing. Positive acceleration is associated with motion in the direction of velocity, while negative acceleration usually indicates motion in the opposite direction of velocity.
Snowboarding demonstrates speed, velocity, and acceleration. It can also demonstrate a positive or negative value for velocity and acceleration.
The car is slowing down
Yes, if an object is moving in a linear path with an acceleration in the direction opposite to its motion, its velocity will decrease. This is because the acceleration is acting against the object's initial motion, causing it to slow down.
The car is slowing down
An object with negative acceleration is slowing down. Negative acceleration means that the velocity of the object is decreasing over time, causing it to decelerate or come to a stop.
Acceleration is negative if velocity is decreasing with time. Since velocity is a vector this can occur in one of two ways: 1) you are slowing down in the direction of motion and the velocity in that direction is defined as positive (this is what we usually mean by negative acceleration) 2) you are speeding up in the direction of motion and the velocity in that direction is defined as negative. An example of this is an object launched into the air which immediately starts to decelerate in it's upward velocity, reaches it's highest velocity, and then begins accelerating towards the ground. If we call the velocity upward a positive velocity, then when it starts falling, it has negative velocity. Note that acceleration (due to gravity) is negative the whole time.
Take the velocity to be in positive direction. Positive acceleration increases velocity and they are in the same direction. Negative acceleration reduce velocity and they are in opposite direction. It does not matter if the motion in linear or anfular.
Its slowing down (but still moving).
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.
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).
Acceleration is positive when an object is speeding up in the positive direction (e.g., increasing velocity), and negative when the object is slowing down in the positive direction or moving in the negative direction (e.g., decreasing velocity). The sign of acceleration depends on the direction of the change in velocity relative to the direction of motion.
