What does a negative acceleration mean if the object has positive velocity?

Physics

Answer:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity.  If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion .  If velocity and acceleration have opposite signs, you slow down. Negative velocity = You move backwards. Negative acceleration - You slow down or you go faster in the backwards direction

Explanation:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity.

If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion aka negative velocity.

A furlong is an old british unit of length equal to 0.125 mi, derived from the length of a furrow in an acre of ploughed land. a
castortr0y [4]

The speed of light is: c = 3x10^8 m/s <span>

or 

c = 186,000,000 miles/sec = 1.86x10^8 mi/s 

1 furlong = 0.125 mile 

1 fortnight = 2 weeks(7d/wk)(24h/d)(3600s/h) 
= 1209600s = 1.2096x10^6 s 

Therefore, 

c =1.86x10^8 mi/s(1furl/0.125mi)(1.2096x10^6s/fort) 

<span>c = 18x10^14 furlong/fortnight = 18x10^8 Mfurlong/fortnight</span></span>

A cheetah can go from the state of rest to running at 20m/s in just two seconds. What is the Cheetahs average acceleration
babymother [125]

acceleration = change in velocity/change in time

so...

a = 20 m/s / 2 seconds

a = 10


hope that helps :)

P.S. found this from Brainly User, sometimes all you have to do is search to find the answer.

umka21 [38]

Answer:

<em>The net force acting on the object is 0 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Newton's Second Law of Forces</u>

The net force acting on a body is proportional to the mass of the object and its acceleration.

The net force can be calculated as the sum of all the force vectors in each rectangular coordinate separately.

The image shows a free body diagram where four forces are acting: two in the vertical direction and two in the horizontal direction.

Note the forces in the vertical direction have the same magnitude and opposite directions, thus the net force is zero in that direction.

Since we are given the acceleration a =0, the net force is also 0, thus the horizontal forces should be in equilibrium.

The applied force of Fapp=10 N is compensated by the friction force whose value is, necessarily Fr=10 N in the opposite direction.

The net force acting on the object is 0 N

How is high temperature achieved by concave mirror?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

A concave mirror is used in the design of solar furnaces because they converge the parallel sunrays at a point. This helps to increase the temperature of the furnace.
