There is only acceleration if the car's velocity changes. If it moves at a constant velocity, then there is no acceleration.

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 at a speed of 50mph?

If the speed is constant at 50 mph, then the acceleration is 0.

No. Definitely not


What is the negative acceleration?

Negative acceleration is the state of a body whose velocity in a specified direction is becoming smaller. If you apply the brakes while driving a car, the car (and you) will undergo negative acceleration in the direction in which the car was moving.

What is the acceleration of a car moving in a straight line at a constant rate of 29 meters per second for 4 seconds?

"Constant rate" implies there is no acceleration - acceleration is zero.


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).
