Answer: yes

Explanation: Assuming a it's moving 20m/s in the west direction and slowing down at a rate of -5m/s² (deceleration), the negative sign would imply the westward direction because -5 west is the same thing as +5 east. So, the boat is moving 20m/s west direction and accelerating at 5m/s² east direction.

Other examples of these are: Cars and and tricycles.

When an object moves, stops moving, changes speed, or changes direction, how do scientists describe that condition?
lorasvet [3.4K]
Drop "moves" from the list for a moment.

You can also drop "stops moving", because that's included in "changes speed"
(from something to zero).

When an object changes speed or changes direction, that's called "acceleration".

I dropped the first one from the list, because an object can be moving,
and as long as it's speed is constant and it's moving in a straight line,
there's no acceleration.

I think you meant to say "starts moving". That's a change of speed (from zero
to something), so it's also acceleration.
