When an object's initial velocity is less than its final velocity what does that indicate?

When the velocity of an object increases or decreases, that means it has accelerated. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
If an object's final velocity is greater than its initial velocity, that indicates positive acceleration. If an object's final velocity is less than its initial velocity -- if, say, it slows down and comes to a stop -- then that indicates negative acceleration. Deceleration is another way of saying negative acceleration. But . . .
It is good idea to avoid using the term deceleration, because an object that is experiencing negative acceleration may slow down, come to a stop momentarily, and then reverse direction and speed up -- IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION!
You can think of it this way: When an object is slowing down, its acceleration is in the direction opposite to its motion. We think of that as negative acceleration.

Can the effect of initial velocity on final velocity be predicted?
Well, (final velocity) = (initial velocity) + (acceleration x time)
What is the formula for calculating final velocity when you know the initial speed and the acceleration?
the formula for finding acceleration is final velocity, minus initial velocity, all over time. So if you have the acceleration and initial speed, which is equal to the initial velocity, you must also have time in order to find the final velocity. Once you have the time, you multiply it by the acceleration. That product gives you the difference of the final velocity and initial velocity, so then you just add the initial velocity to the product to find the final velocity.
How do you find final Velocity of an object?
The final velocity is (the initial velocity) plus (the acceleration multiplied by the time).
What is the equation for acceleration?
Final Velocity- Initial Velocity Time
What is initial velocity if its less than final velocity?
i think it's 2
How do you calculate an objects acceleration?
Acceleration is an object's change in velocity divided by its change in time. So: acceleration=(final velocity - initial velocity)/(final time - initial time)

Well, (final velocity) = (initial velocity) + (acceleration x time)

What is the Formula in Final Velocity?
Final velocity = (Initial velocity) + (time)(acceleration)
If an object is accelerating what equation relates the distance traveled by that object to the initial velocity final velocity and time?
Final velocity = Initial velocity +(acceleration * time)
What is acceleration of a body moving with uniform velocity?
zero because the initial and final velocity is constant . so,difference bet. final velocity and initial velocity is zero
How do you find displacement when you only have acceleration initial velocity and final velocity?
Kinematics. Final velocity squared = initial velocity squared + 2(gravitational acceleration)(displacement)
How do you find final Velocity of an object?
The final velocity is (the initial velocity) plus (the acceleration multiplied by the time).
What is the equation for acceleration?
Final Velocity- Initial Velocity Time
How do you find the final velocity given only distancetimeand initial velocity?
v = 2s/t - u where u=initial velocity, v=final velocity, s = distance and t = time
If an object is accelerating what equation relates the acceleration of that object the initial velocity and the final velocity and time?
Vf = Vi + at Where Vf = final velocity Vi = initial velocity a = acceleration t = time
What would be true if the values for initial velocity and final velocity if the acceleration were zero?
A change in velocity can be effected only by acceleration. Therefore, if the acceleration is zero, there is no change, so final velocity equals initial velocity.
