The car's acceleration is negative if ...

-- it's going slower and slower in the direction that you call 'positive',

OR . . .

-- it's going faster and faster in the direction opposite
to what you call 'positive',

OR . . .

-- it's driving around in a circle AND you call the direction
OUT from the center of the circle the 'positive' direction.

When a car is slowing down, it has a negative acceleration.  Although it is not going a negative speed, it is decreasing in velocity, which is the definition of a negative acceleration.

Hope this helps!

Is walking just a constant state of falling?
atroni [7]

Answer:

Yes. Walking is controlled falling because you need to let go in order to move forward. If you never let your foot fall, your movements would be stilted and robotic. And according to medical engineers," When we walk normally we are constantly correcting tiny falls to keep ourselves stable."

Which would melt first, germanium with a melting point of 1210 k or gold with a melting point of 1064oc?
iren2701 [21]
<span>Germanium To determine which melts first, convert their melting temperatures so they're both expressed on same scale. It doesn't matter what scale you use, Kelvin, Celsius, of Fahrenheit. Just as long as it's the same scale for everything. Since we already have one substance expressed in Kelvin and since it's easy to convert from Celsius to Kelvin, I'll use Kelvin. So convert the melting point from Celsius to Kelvin for Gold by adding 273.15 1064 + 273.15 = 1337.15 K So Germanium melts at 1210K and Gold melts at 1337.15K. Germanium has the lower melting point, so it melts first.</span>
