positive acceleration is when things speed up; negative acceleration is when things slow down; and zero acceleration is when things do not speed up or slow down, this is called constant speed, or no change in velocity.

What is called negative accelarration?

Deceleration. Negative acceleration = Velocity is decreasing by time. Positive acceleration = Velocity is increasing by time. Zero acceleration = Velocity is the same by time.


Can there be a positive acceleration and a negative acceleration?

Yes, acceleration can be positive and negative because acceleration is a vector. It has both direction and magnitude. The direction is what makes it positive or negative. Negative acceleration is usually called deceleration.


What is positive and negative acceleration?

Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.


What is zero negative property?

Zero is not negative. It is not positive either.Zero is not negative. It is not positive either.Zero is not negative. It is not positive either.Zero is not negative. It is not positive either.


What type of acceleration does a trapezium on a velocity time graph represents?

A period of constant positive acceleration;a second period of zero acceleration; a third period of constant negative acceleration.


What is positive acceleration negative acceleration?

Positive is speeding up and negative is slowing down


What is the negative of zero?

There is no negative of zero, nor is there a positive. Zero is no value, hence it has no positive or negative value.


How would a graph of negative and positive acceleration differ?

This depends on what the graph represents. If it is a graph of velocity on the vertical and time on the horizontal, then if acceleration is at a constant rate, the graph will be a straight line with positive slope (pointing 'up'). If acceleration stops, then the graph will be a horizontal line (zero acceleration or deceleration). If it is deceleration (negative acceleration), then the graph will have negative slope (pointing down).


What is negative and acceleration?

Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.


Does a softball have a positive or negative acceleration when it is thrown?

positive


Is it possible for your speed to be zero when your acceleration is not zero?

Yes. Zero acceleration means you are not changing your speed (speed up or slow down) or changing direction. Zero acceleration is a constant speed in a linear direction. A speed implies you are moving.


Positive and negative whole numbers and zero?

Positive and negative whole numbers and zero are integers. Zero is neither negative or positive.
