a car traveling along a cuurved road at 80 km per hour slows down to 65 km per hour. Is the car accelerating?
When an object slows down, it still has acceleration, but the acceleration is negative (deceleration). Deceleration is a decrease in the velocity of an object over time.
The car is accelerating quickly as it speeds down the highway.
The cart is decelerating, not accelerating.
A car goes faster when you accelerate. It slows down when you brake.
When a car slows down
When a car slows down at a traffic light, it is decelerating. This means that the car is reducing its speed or coming to a stop in response to the signal.
When a car slows down, it is experiencing negative acceleration, also known as deceleration. This means the velocity of the car decreases over time.
Deceleration opposite of acceleration
When you stop pushing on a box and it slows down, it is due to an unbalanced force. The force of friction between the box and the surface is greater than the force you applied to move it, causing it to slow down.
A car can be slowing down while still accelerating if its speed is decreasing but the direction of its velocity is changing. For example, if a car is moving in a curve, its speed may be decreasing but it is still accelerating towards the center of the turn. This is known as centripetal acceleration.
No, when anything is slowing down it is decelerating.
