Yes. If you are traveling eastward but slowing down, your acceleration would be westward.
If a car is driving eastward with a constant velocity and then suddenly applies the brakes to decelerate, its acceleration is in the opposite direction of its motion, which would be westward. This is because acceleration is a vector quantity that can act in the direction opposite to the object's motion.
If the speed of a car traveling south is increasing at 5 m/s, then its acceleration is 5 m/s². This acceleration indicates the rate at which the car's velocity is changing per unit time.
There is no acceleration if the car is travelling at a steady 54,000 miles per hour.
Straight line at a constant speed = no acceleration
well as we know that velocity is a vector hence it has magnitude as well as direction. Let us assign sign conventions for direction of velocities in this example: Let eastward velocity be positive and westward be taken as negative. Initial Velocity:-20 Final Velocity:+5 CHange in velocity=Final velocity-Initial Valocity Change in Velocity=5-(-20)=25m/s So change in velocity will be 25m/s
Yes.If the car is backing up, but slowing down, then its velocity is in the negative direction, and its acceleration is in the positive direction.
Yes it can, and it's really easy. -- A stone tossed upward, before it peaks and starts falling, has upward velocity and downward acceleration. -- A car driving east and slowing for a stop-sign has eastward velocity and westward acceleration.
The acceleration of the car is 0 m/s^2 since it is traveling at a constant speed and not changing its velocity.
The acceleration of a car traveling at a steady speed of 60 mph is zero. Acceleration refers to a change in velocity over time, so a steady speed means there is no change in velocity and therefore no acceleration.
The acceleration of the car is equal to the rate of change of its speed over time. When a car goes from zero speed to a higher speed, it experiences positive acceleration in the direction of its motion.
If something is traveling at a "steady" speed, it can't be accelerating.
velocity is a vector quantity and also acceleration is a vector quantity. Suppose my automobile is travelling in north direction and I apply brakes to it then until the automobile stops it will move in north direction while the acceleration will act in south direction as brakes are applied.
