Can decreasing acceleration be negative acceleration ?
Celluhh said:Can decreasing acceleration be negative acceleration ?
Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. It is typically measured in meters per second squared (m/s²) for objects moving in a straight line, or radians per second squared (rad/s²) for objects moving in a circular motion.
Negative acceleration, also known as deceleration, is when an object's velocity decreases over time. This can happen if the object is slowing down, changing direction, or a combination of both.
Yes, acceleration can be negative. As mentioned earlier, this is also known as deceleration. Negative acceleration occurs when an object's velocity decreases, regardless of its initial direction or magnitude of velocity.
Decreasing acceleration refers to a situation where the acceleration of an object decreases over time, but it can still be positive or negative. Negative acceleration, on the other hand, specifically means that the acceleration is decreasing and is always in the opposite direction of the initial velocity.
Yes, decreasing acceleration can be positive. This can happen if an object is initially moving in a negative direction, but its acceleration decreases over time and becomes positive. This would result in the object slowing down, but still moving in the negative direction.
