What else can I help you with?
Is the acceleration due to gravity always pointing vertically downward even for an object whose velocity is vertically upward?
Yes, the acceleration due to gravity always points vertically downward, regardless of the direction of an object's velocity. This is because gravity is a force that attracts objects towards the center of the Earth.
What is the arrow pointing upward on a map called?
The arrow pointing upward on a map is called a compass rose. It indicates the direction of north on the map.
Does an object always move in the direction of the unbalanced force exerted on it by another object?
Not always, the unbalanced force only points in the direction of the acceleration so a body may be moving in the opposite direction. Example. A car moves with some speed to the right on a horizontal surface and lock the brakes, if the surface has friction, but the net force acting on it is equal to the frictional force pointing left and produces a Deceleration of carriage until stop, but while this happens continuously in motion to the right.
How do you use a dobsonian telescope?
it is an alt-adz telescope. So you spin it till it is pointing the right direction, then you tilt it till it is pointing at the right angle.
What is the the symbol for a fault on a map?
The symbol for a fault on a map is typically a line with arrows pointing in opposite directions to indicate the direction of movement between tectonic plates. It is usually labeled with the type of fault (e.g. normal, reverse, or strike-slip).
What is the direction of the acceleration of an object that is slowing down while heading northward?
The acceleration is opposite the direction the object is moving, so the acceleration is negative and southward.
Is it possible for a body to have its velocity and acceleration pointing in opposite directions?
Sure. Anything that's slowing down has velocity and acceleration in opposite directions. -- A ball tossed up in the air has upward velocity and downward acceleration. -- A car stopping for a red light has forward velocity and backward acceleration.
When acceleration and velocity vectors are pointing in opposite directions?
When acceleration and velocity vectors are pointing in opposite directions, it means that the object's speed is decreasing. This situation occurs when the acceleration is acting against the direction of motion, causing the object to slow down.
Where does the direction of the acceleration arrow point in?
The direction of the acceleration arrow points in the direction of the acceleration vector, which indicates the rate of change of an object's velocity. If the arrow is pointing upwards, it means the acceleration is in the positive y-direction; if it's pointing left, it means the acceleration is in the negative x-direction, and so on.
Is it possible for body to have its velocity and acceleration pointing in opposite directions?
Sure. Anything that's slowing down has velocity and acceleration in opposite directions. -- A ball tossed up in the air has upward velocity and downward acceleration. -- A car stopping for a red light has forward velocity and backward acceleration.
What is back bearing?
A back bearing is a bearing taken pointing to the exact opposite direction to the direction in which someone is heading.
What is a back bearing?
A back bearing is a bearing taken pointing to the exact opposite direction to the direction in which someone is heading.
When acceleration and velocity vectors are pointing in opposite directions the object is?
This would indicate negative acceleration, which would mean that the object in question is speeding up.
What are Example of acceleration which is against direction of motion?
deceleration in a linear motion (braking during driving or an object thrown up while you are standing on on earth) --> the acceleration is pointing at an opposite direction than the motion. ============================
When A ball is thrown straight up from the ground. What way does its acceleration point at the top?
At the top of its path, the acceleration of the ball points downward, opposite to the direction of its velocity. This acceleration is due to gravity and causes the ball to slow down and eventually come back down to the ground.
What has a velocity and acceleration vector in the same direction?
An object with a constant acceleration and velocity in the same direction will have both vectors pointing in the same direction. This occurs when an object is moving in a straight line with a constant speed while its velocity is also increasing at a constant rate.
What way is vertical?
Vertical is a relative term. It usually refers to a direction pointing in the opposite direction of Gravity. So if you are in outer space, then I guess there is no real "vertical" direction.
