The correct answer is - Positive acceleration describes an increase in speed; negative acceleration describes a decrease in speed.
Example 1: An 850-kg car is accelerating at a rate of 2.4m/s2 to the right along a ... 2) A nonzero net force ΣF acting on mass M causes an acceleration a in it such that ΣF = Ma. The acceleration has the same direction as the applied net force. ... (b) Knowing that the crate is being pushed to the left by a 53-N force
thats how it works and thanks for points
