Can a body have increasing velocity with decreasing acceleration?

Physics

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.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Distance, d = 0.1 m

It is given that,

Initial velocity of meson,

Finally, the meson is coming to rest v = 0

Acceleration of the meson,  (opposite to initial velocity)

Using third equation of motion as :

s is the distance the meson travelled before coming to rest.

So,

 

s = 0.1 m

The meson will cover the distance of 0.1 m before coming to rest. Hence, this is the required solution.

An experimentalist fires a beam of electrons, creating a visible path in the air that can be measured. The beam is fired along a
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:  

Velocity of the electron in the beam.

Radius of the circulating electrons due to the magnetic field.

Explanation:

We have a Mathematical expression for the force on a moving charge in a magnetic field as:

F=q.v.B.sin \theta ...........................(1)

where:

q= charge on the particle in coulomb

v= velocity of the charge projected into the magnetic field

B= intensity of the magnetic field in tesla

\theta= angle between the velocity and direction of magnetic field

For the forces on rotating mass we have the formula:

F=m.\frac{v^2}{r}..........................................(2)

where:

m= mass of the charged particle

v= velocity of projection of charge into the magnetic field

r= radius of the path traced  by the charge in the magnetic field

From eq. (1) and (2) we can calculate the magnetic field .

Now,

Using Ampere's Law we have:

B = \frac{\mu_0 .I}{2 \pi r}

where:

I= current in the wire

\mu_0= The permeability of free space.

r= radial distance from the current carrying wire( in this case it is same as the radius of the circular path)
