what happens when velocity and acceleration are not the same direction?
239487
If acceleration is in direction of velocity, the object speeds up. If acceleration and velocity are in opposite directions, the object slows down, and later reverses its velocity direction.

Velocity is vector: That means that going in one direction in velocity is not the same as going in the opposite direction. ... Acceleration is rate of change of Velocity: How quickly your velocity is increasing or decreasing. It is measured in meters per second per second, or m/s/s.

When velocity is changing, the word acceleration is used. Acceleration is also a vector. You speed up if the acceleration and velocity point in the same direction. You slow down (also referred to as decelerating) if the acceleration and velocity point in opposite directions.

The relationship between acceleration and velocity is that they are both related to speed. Also, they are each other. ... The only difference is that acceleration is a change in speed/direction. Velocity is just a speed.

Velocity is the speed AND DIRECTION of travel. Acceleration is the CHANGE in VELOCITY. ... If we look at the definition of acceleration, by definition, if an object's velocity is not changing, its acceleration is zero. Therefore, no, it is not possible to have acceleration with constant velocity.

Acceleration is a vector in the same direction as the change in velocity, Δv. ... Keep in mind that although acceleration is in the direction of the change in velocity, it is not always in the direction of motion. When an object slows down, its acceleration is opposite to the direction of its motion.

An object which moves in the negative direction has a negative velocity. If the object is speeding up then its acceleration vector is directed in the same direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).

So, the acceleration is the change in the velocity, divided by the time. Acceleration has a magnitude (a value) and a direction. The direction of the acceleration does not have to be the same as the direction of the velocity. The units for acceleration are meters per second squared (m/s2). a = acceleration (m/s2)

Here, accelerations deals with the rate of change in velocity, which means you need the change in velocity . In case, if the question means that if the velocity is always 0 then, the acceleration is always zero. But if the final velocity is zero then the acceleration is negative i.e deceleration. That's it.

If the velocity and acceleration are in the same direction (both have the same sign - both positive or both negative) the object is speeding up. If the velocity and acceleration are in opposite directions (they have opposite signs), the object is slowing down.

Velocity is a vector quantity which has a direction. The direction of the velocity vector is always in the direction which the object is moving. Direction of Acceleration: Acceleration is a vector quantity and it has a direction.

The acceleration points in the same direction as the velocity if the car is speeding up, and in the opposite direction if the car is slowing down. I don't get it. Another way to say this is that if the acceleration has the same sign as the velocity, the object will be speeding up.

When a body moves with non-uniform velocity, it either has posetive acceleration (increase in velocity) or negative acceleration (decrease in velocity) during its travel path.

Acceleration from gravity is always constant and downward, but the direction and magnitude of velocity change. At the highest point in its trajectory, the ball has zero velocity, and the magnitude of velocity increases again as the ball falls back toward the earth (see figure 1).

Acceleration is a vector in the same direction as the change in velocity, Δv. Since velocity is a vector, it can change either in magnitude or in direction. Acceleration is therefore a change in either speed or direction, or both.

Velocity describes how position changes; acceleration describes how velocity changes. Two layers of change!

Velocity is speed in a given direction. Acceleration is change in velocity divided by time.
