Give one example of the following :
a)positive acceleration
b)negative acceleration
c)uniform acceleration
Positive acceleration= A bus or car moving with increasing speed has positive acceleration. We can say that it is accelerating with the direction of travel.
Negative acceleration=In the above example, if we apply the break, the speed of the car decreases. Then it has negative acceleration. So we can say that it is decelerating.
Uniform acceleration=A freely falling body (since it has a uniform acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity of the earth).
Negative acceleration=In the above example, if we apply the break, the speed of the car decreases. Then it has negative acceleration. So we can say that it is decelerating.
Uniform acceleration=A freely falling body (since it has a uniform acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity of the earth).
