Positive acceleration – speeding up in the positive direction or slowing down in the negative directionTwo examples: Accelerating on the “on ramp” of 202North.Slowing down as you back up on the driveway.Negative acceleration – speeding up in the negative direction or slowing down in the positive direction.Two examples: Slowing down at a stop sign Speeding up going backwards.Positive Acceleration Ex. If a=+30 ms2 x this means that the velocity is changing by 30 m/s every second in the + x direction.Ex. At t = 0 let vi=+20 ms x and a=+10 ms2 x . This means that the velocity is changing 10 m/s every second in the + x direction.At t = 1 second v = At t = 3 seconds v = At t = 2 seconds v = At t = 4 seconds v = Ex. At t = 0 let vi=-20 ms x and a=+10 ms2 x . This means that the velocity is changing 10 m/s every second in the + x direction.At t = 1 second v = At t = 3 seconds v = At t = 2 seconds v = At t = 4 seconds v = Negative Acceleration Ex. If a=-30 ms2 x this means that the velocity is changing by 30 m/s every second in the ? x direction.Ex. At t = 0 sec let vi=+20 ms x and a=-10 ms2 x.
