Sure. The acceleration may be decreasing, but as long as it stays
in the same direction as the velocity, the velocity increases.
I think you meant to ask whether the body can have increasing velocity
with negative acceleration. That answer isn't simple either.
If the body's velocity is in the positive direction, then positive acceleration
means speeding up, and negative acceleration means slowing down.
BUT ... If the body's velocity is in the negative direction, then positive
acceleration means slowing down, and negative acceleration means
speeding up.
I know that's confusing.
-- Take a piece of scratch paper, write a 'plus' sign at one edge and
a 'minus' sign at the other edge. Those are the definitions of which
direction is positive and which direction is negative.
-- Then sketch some cars ... one traveling in the positive direction, and
one driving in the negative direction. Those are the directions of the
velocities.
-- Now, one car at a time:
. . . . . first push on the back of the car, in the direction it's moving;.
. . . . . then push on the front of the car, against its motion.
Each push causes the car to accelerate in the direction of the push.
When you see it on paper, all the positive and negative velocities
and accelerations will come clear for you.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
radius of ferris wheel is 20 m
It completes 6 turns in 1 min
i.e. 1 turn in 10 sec
Therefore its angular velocity is 
(a)Period of motion is 10 s
Magnitude of centripetal acceleration is 
(b)Highest point will be 40 m
(c) lowest point 0 m i.e. at ground
Answer:
The answer to your question is letter B.
Explanation:
To answer this question, we must remember the third law of motion of Newton that states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Then, if the action force is 40 N to the right, the reaction force must be 40 N to the left.
For you to answer a question on graphs, you have to first, identify the variables and coefficients given in the problem. Then, assess the Problem what is required given the <span>variables and coefficients. Lastly, develop a solution that would answer the required variables in the problem.</span>
