Can an automobile with a velocity toward the north simultaneously have acceleration toward the south?

Question

(brief please)

Answer 1

Yes. Velocity is the speed the car is traveling. If it is slowing down, it has negative acceleration toward the north or it can be said to be accelerating toward the south.

Answer 2

Sure. Acceleration toward the south would manifest as a decreasing velocity toward the north.

Answer 3

certainly, if you are driving north, and you put on the breaks, you are still heading north, only slower, and the breaks are decelerating you toward the north or, are accelerating you toward the south

you still have velocity toward the north until you stop
you still have acceleration toward the south until you stop

Answer 4

Oh yes, that is what we call breaking. Braking is negative acceleration. Therefore, you are travelling at positive velocity (heading north) and you are breaking - therefore a negative acceleration (toward south).

Answer 5

yes it can. look at it like this, when you throw a ball upwards even though the ball's velocity is upwards, the acceleration of the ball due to gravity will always be downwards toward the center of the earth. the ball will eventually slow down, stop for a very little amount of time at its peak.
then it will eventually accelerate downwards.

Answer 6

Yes. You can be moving north, but if you are slowing down, your acceleration is decreasing (or going south.)

Answer 7

yes, if driving south towards the magnetic north pole

Answer 8

of course! have you ever been in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle that has "positioned on the brakes"? the only way that an merchandise can end it is action is to advance up interior the choice course, thereby reducing it is forward velocity. i'm hoping that enables....

Answer 9

definitely,but with decreasing velocity.
