Question

An object will slow down if acceleration and velocity are in opposite direction. However the object will speed up even if both the velocity and acceleration of the object are negative. Explain.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes, which means that acceleration tells you how fast the velocity is changing. A large acceleration tells you that the velocity is changing quickly - a small acceleration tells you that the velocity is changing slowly - an acceleration of zero tells you that the velocity is not changing at all.

Answer 2

If acceleration points in the same direction as the velocity, the object will be speeding up. And if the acceleration points in the opposite direction of the velocity, the object will be slowing down
