∙ 10y agoThe acceleration would be in the direction of the object's motion, which is to the right.
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.
Negative velocity is a term used to describe an object moving in the opposite direction of a designated positive direction. In other words, if the positive direction is considered to be to the right, negative velocity would indicate movement to the left. It signifies that the object's displacement over time is decreasing in the chosen positive direction.
Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. It can involve an increase or decrease in speed, or a change in direction.
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.
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.
The velocity vector of an object that is speeding up to the right points in the same direction, to the right. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude (speed) and direction, so as the object accelerates, the velocity vector will align with the direction of motion.
Acceleration. Acceleration is change in velocity. Velocity is its speed and direction. So when one of these things changes, it is undergoing acceleration. Acceleration can be the object speeding up, slowing down, turning right, turning left, etc. Deceleration is lowering the rate of change. You are experiencing no change if you are moving in a straight line at a constant speed.
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.
Negative velocity is a term used to describe an object moving in the opposite direction of a designated positive direction. In other words, if the positive direction is considered to be to the right, negative velocity would indicate movement to the left. It signifies that the object's displacement over time is decreasing in the chosen positive direction.
Yes, if apply at the right angles the acceleration can change the object's current direction without effecting its speed.
Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. It can involve an increase or decrease in speed, or a change in direction.
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.
The application of force on object (without opposing forces) results in acceleration in the direction of the vector. In this case the unbalanced force to the left will accelerate the object to the right.
well the difference between positive and negative velocity would have to be that if your motion speeds up than you have a positive and when or if your motion slows down then you would have a negative accelerarion!!!!

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.
Yes, when an object reaches its terminal speed, the acceleration becomes zero because the forces acting on the object (such as air resistance) have balanced out the force of gravity causing the object to fall at a constant speed. This constant speed is the terminal speed of the object.
