For a car moving around a circular track at a constant speed the acceleration is?

constant speed=0 acceleration Acceleration is the change in speed. If the speed doesn't change(ie constant) the acceleration is zero.


True or false Negative acceleration always means that a system is slowing down?

false A car can have a negative acceleration and be speeding up. A negative acceleration determines the direction of the acceleration A car with forward acceleration will speed up in the forward direction A car moving forward with a negative acceleration will slow down A car not moving with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction A car moving backward with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction


What is the acceleration of a car moving along a straight line path that increases its speed from zero?

the car could be traveling in a straight line and slowing down (negative acceleration), speeding up (positive acceleration) or maintaining constant speed (zero acceleration).


What acceleration of a car accelerate even thought your speed don't change?

If the car is moving at a constant speed but is changing direction, it is accelerating. Acceleration is change in velocity, and velocity includes magnitude (speed) and direction.


What will be acceleration of a car moving in a circular motion with constant speed.?

If body is moving in a circle with uniform or constant speed its acceleration will be uniform as velocity i.e. to say direction is changing at every point.


How is it possible for a car moving at constant speed be accelerating?

Not possible, acceleration dV/dt =0.


At what speed do most car crashes occur at?

around 50mph


How will you interpret this graph in terms of the speed and acceleration of the moving car?

My interpretation is that the car and any motion, like the graph, do not exist.


The speed of a car moving on a straight road is decreasing on applying the brakes its velocity and acceleration are in same direction?

By convention, yes, but the acceleration is negative


Opel vectra yr2000 when hit 50mph then slow the car down to about 40mph the car cuts out anyone know why?

there must be a speed limter on it to 50mph


A car is moving with constant speed and yet the acceleration and net force are not equal to zero how is this possible?

It's not possible. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity, so if the speed is constant, the acceleration is zero. If the acceleration is zero, so is the net force.


If two car are moving in the same direction and the velocity of car A exceeds the velocity of car B does it mean that car A's acceleration is greater than car B?

Not at all. In fact, if they're both moving at constant speed, then neither one has anyacceleration.What you describe just means that the speed of one is greater than the speed of the other right now. If either one undergoes any acceleration, then either its speed or direction will change.
