Can you cite an example in which the acceleration of a body is opposite in direction to its velocity? If so, what is your example?
Cite an example of something that undergoes acceleration while moving at constant speed. Can you also give an example of something that accelerates while traveling at constant velocity? Explain to your classmates.
Give an example of a moving object that has a velocity vector and an acceleration vector in the same direction and an example of one that has velocity and acceleration vectors in opposite directions.
