negative? Give two examples of situations in which acceleration of the body is
negative.
Answers
Give two examples of situations in which acceleration of the body is negative. Acceleration is rate of change of velocity and its SI unit is m per sec square. Body has negative acceleration when the velocity is decreasing. When the car stops acceleration is negative as brakes are applied.09-Jul-2018

please mark me brainiest
Answer:
acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Its SI unit is m/s².The acceleration of a body is said to be in negative when it's opposite to the direction of velocity.For example: 1) When a moving body slows down due to any reason, the speed decreases and the acceleration is negative. 2) A cyclist is cycling and stops after 60 seconds. While stopping, the speed deceases and therefore, it leads to retardation and acceleration is negative.
