Question

If a particle is accelerating, it is either speeding up or speeding down. Do you agree with this statement?

Answer 1

Explanation:

This statement holds true in all cases I do agree with the above statement as a body can either be going against the velocity(retardation) or accelerating with the body(accelerating) Thus the statement is true and universally accepted....

Hope it helps you!!!

Answer 2

No. Acceleration does not indicate speeding up or speeding down. It indicates the change of velocity either in direction or in magnitude.

Explanation:

• Acceleration is stated as the rate of change of velocity i.e It does not mean speeding up or speeding down.
• It means the change of velocity either in direction or in magnitude.
• The magnitude of the velocity is either increasing or decreasing. Acceleration does not imply speeding up. There is no specialized term "decelerating"
• When the object travels with a fixed velocity magnitude, but varies direction. then the object is accelerating.
