If the vehicle is gaining speed on that gentle curve, yes. Otherwise, no.

How can you find the retardation of a curve in a speed time graph?
Calculate the gradient of the curve which will give the acceleration. Change the sign of the answer to convert acceleration into retardation.
What is velocity-time curve?
The graph of velocity-time is the acceleration.
When a car rounds a curve it's acceleration is zero?
Actually, a car always accelerates on a curve. This is because acceleration, like the velocity it alters, is a vector that has both magnitude and direction. Since taking a curve involves a change of direction, there must be an acceleration to alter the direction; otherwise, the car can only continue straight.
When velocity is increasing can acceleration remains constant?
Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is made up of a magnitude (the speed), and a direction. Velocity can change if the speed increases, if it decreases, or if the direction changes. For example, when a car goes around a curve, you feel the force of the acceleration.
What is instantaneous accerlation?
that is acceleration at a particular point in time. If acceleration is changing with time, it is the slope of the velocity vs. time curve.
What does the slope of the tangent to the curve on a velocity-time graph measure?
it measures the magnitude of acceleration, but it can't tell you the direction of the acceleration.
What is an imaginary line that follows the curve of the earth?
it is the ORBIT, I think...
What is the imaginary line that follows the curve of earth?
it is the ORBIT, I think...
What does the slope of the curve on a velocity time graph represent?
The rate of Change in acceleration.
How fast must a projectile moving horizontally travel so that the curve it follows matches the curve of the Earth?
The answer is 8km/s
When you graph acceleration vs time you get what shape?
An acceleration curve. Without knowing more details it's impossible to answer more precisely than that.
What is the area under a jerk vs time graph?
Since jerk is defined as the derivative (the rate of change) of acceleration, in the case of the area under the curve, it is the other way round: the integral (area under the curve) for jerk is the acceleration.
