Are the direction of velocity and acceleration always the same?

Keep in mind that although acceleration is in the direction of the change in velocity, it is not always in the direction of motion. When an object slows down, its acceleration is opposite to the direction of its motion. This is known as deceleration.

Can the velocity of an object be in different direction than the acceleration?

Yes, Velocity of a body and its acceleration may be in different directions.

Can the direction of velocity and acceleration be opposite?

Answer: Yes, a body can have acceleration and velocity in opposite directions.

Is the direction of the velocity always the same as the direction of the force?

Velocity is a vector and has a direction. The direction of an object’s velocity is always in the same direction that the object is moving.

How does velocity change with direction?

Generally,the velocity decreases when a moving object chenges its direction.. this happens because the force is straightforward and by changing the direction it slows down and thus the speed or velocity decreases.

When the acceleration is only changing the direction of the velocity it is called?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. Any change in the velocity of an object results in an acceleration: increasing speed (what people usually mean when they say acceleration), decreasing speed (also called deceleration or retardation ), or changing direction (called centripetal acceleration ).

Can the velocity of an object reverse direction?

Yes. Direction of velocity of an object can be reversed when it’s acceleration is constant. After reaching highest point, its direction will be reversed while its acceleration will remain same i.e. due to gravity.
