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.
Difference between negative and positive acceration?
Positive acceleration ==> speeding up Negative acceleration ==> slowing down
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.
When acceleration upward or downward direction is taken positivw or negative?
If it is gravitational acceleration then it it is positive in downward and negative in upward direction..if it is not gravitational acceleration then it is depending upon the value of acceleration.
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.
