Yes!
I think there are two ways you could go with this answer:
1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse.
2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.

Explanation:
Momentum change for either skater is mΔv = 75.0(5.0) = 375 kg•m/s
As a change in momentum is equal to an impulse
375 = FΔt
F = 375/0.100 = 3750 N
As 3750 N < 4500 N no bones are broken.
Answer:
The breaking in <em>molecular</em> bonds in food releases energy for your body to use.
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
This can be explained based on the conservation of energy.
The total mechanical energy of the system remain constant in the absence of any external force. Also, the total mechanical energy of the system is the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy associated with the system.
In case of two stones thrown from a cliff one vertically downwards the other vertically upwards, the overall gravitational potential energy remain same for the two stones as the displacement of the stones is same.
Therefore the kinetic energy and hence the speed of the two stones should also be same in order for the mechanical energy to remain conserved.
