When a van with closed doors containing helium balloon floating on it accelerates what happens to helium balloon?
It appears to move in the opposite direction to the motion of the van
When velocity is zero and acceleration is negative what happens to the object in motion?
It accelerates in the opposite direction. Its velocity increases in the opposite direction to the direction that has been assigned positive.
What happens as these currents move up in opposite directions?
the water or fluid will be moving the opposite direction
Explain what happens when light hits a mirror?
The light hits the mirror causing it to go off in its opposite direction. Its reflecting off off the mirror because of the particles inside of the mirror
The acceleration of a body is opposite in direction to its velocity?
If that happens, the body's speed will decrease.
What happens when a net unbalanced force act on an object?
Moves it the opposite direction.
What happens when two forces acts in opposite direction?
if the values are the same then nothing happens.
What happens if Something is traveling at constant deceleration?
It slows to a rest and then starts moving in the opposite direction at constant acceleration in that direction.
What happens to an image under a microscope if you move it to the right direction?
It is seen in the opposite direction in which you moved it. I did this experiment last Friday.
Why does friction act in the direction of your motion when you are walking?
Because your feet are pushing backwards and therefore the friction opposes in the opposite direction which happens to be the direction in which you are walking.
What happens if you swim into an eddy?
You are either pushed the opposite direction of the current or go nowhere.
What happens when forces act in the opposite directions?
If they are equal in values - nothing. Otherwise, it will move to the same direction as the direction of the greater force.
