Question

is it possible that the velocity of an object be in a direction other than the direction of acceleration? give example

Answer 1

ʜᴇʟʟᴏ ᴍᴀᴛᴇ!

Yes, its possible that velovity if an object has different direction as compared to acceleration.

For example : Assume that you are driving a car with velocity of 50 m/s. Suddenly you apply breaks due to red signal. Assume car decelerates with 5 m/s².
In this case direction of velocity was forward while acceleration direction was towards backward.

Similarly when you throw ball upwards then same thing happens.

Hope you helps

Answer 2

☆Hey mate!!

Yeah!! Definitely this can happen. When a body accelerated in a negative direction, it is known as retardation.

Now take an example of a ball thrown in the upward direction.
When the ball travels in the upward direction, due to gravity it accelerates in the negative direction.

Suppose the ball travels upwards at 20 m/s and teg acceleration is 2 m/s^2. Now if you see, the ball decelerates also and that's why it will decelerate in the opposite direction.

This can be seen in many other cases too.
