Is it possible to have a negative speed?
No, Speed is always greater than or equal to zero. However, velocity can be negative, which just means you have a positive speed in the opposite direction! (scalar(number) versus vector).
How can you have negative acceleration but not negative speed?
The negative part in negative acceleration is indicating direction, as acceleration is a vector quantity. Speed however, is a scalar and has magnitude only and therefore cannot be negative. An example could be -2.6ms-2 meaning that there is an acceleration of 2.6ms-2 but in the opposite direction to other vectors.
What is a negative slope?
Negative Slope can be your speed, position, and/or acceleration, as long as you X increases but your Y decreases.
What is positive negative and zero acceleration is?
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.
How can driving be connected to negative integers?
Yes. Going under the speed limit is (-) going over the speed limit is (+) going on the speed limit is (0)
