Any time that the sign (+ or -) of the acceleration<span> is the same as the sign of the </span>velocity<span>, the object will speed up. If the signs are opposite, the object will slow down. </span>Acceleration<span> is a vector quantity. When either </span>velocity<span> or direction changes, there is </span>acceleration<span> (or deceleration).</span>

Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes,
and the direction in which it changes..

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile, they have the same __________.
Elan Coil [88]

None of the choices is correct.

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile,
they have the same average speed.  But their velocities
are not the same unless both runners begin and end their
run at the same points.

Speed is   (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance).

Velocity is not.  It's something different. 
'Velocity' is not just a bigger word for 'speed'.

What is the name for the change in a stars spectrum when it moves wawy from the earth
Katarina [22]
When a source of light moves away from you, you see the characteristic lines in its spectrum move toward slightly longer wavelengths.  Lines in the visible part of the spectrum move toward the red end.

When a source of light moves toward you, you see the characteristic lines in its spectrum move to slightly shorter wavelengths.  Lines in the visible part of the spectrum move toward the violet end.

We see these 'shifts' when we look at the spectra of stars.  "Red shift" is the change in the spectrum of a star when it's moving away from us, and "Blue shift" is the change when it's moving toward us.  These measurements are the only way we have of measuring the radial motion of stars, and their speeds toward or away from us.

The whole subject of why a spectrum shifts toward longer or shorter wavelengths was explained by the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler in 1842, and it's known as the "Doppler Shift" in honor of him and his work.

A driver of a car traveling at -15m/s applies the brakes, causing a uniform acceleration of +2.0m/s2. If the brakes are applied
klemol [59]

Given :

Initial velocity, u = -15 m/s.

Acceleration , a = 2 m/s².

Time taken to applied brake, t = 2.5 s.

To Find :

The velocity of the car at the end of the braking period.

How far has the car moved during the braking period.

Solution :

By equation :

v = u+at\\\\v=-15 + 2\times 2.5\\\\v=-10 \ m/s

Now, distance covered by car is :

s=ut+\dfrac{at^2}{2}\\\\s=(-15)(2.5)+\dfrac{2(2.5)^2}{2}\\\\s=-31.25\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
