Give an example of motion for which both acceleration and velocity are negative?
Question asked by: lola241993
Asked on: 31 Jul 2008
There are loads of examples here, for instance when a car is reversing but slowing down its reversal, then the acceleration is negative as it is slowing down at a non constant rate, and its velocity is negative as it is going backwards (remember velocity is a vector).
