Question 3

If you are moving at a constant velocity, can you feel any motion?

Accepted Answer

No, because there is no change in acceleration.

Answer

Yes, because balanced forces require movement.

Answer

Yes, because you can feel like you're moving when riding in a car.

Answer

No, because you cannot move at a constant velocity.

Question 4

Can an object have a negative acceleration?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it means that an object is slowing down.

Answer

Yes, but it depends on if the object is going uphill or downhill.

Answer

No, only speed can be negative.

Answer

No, acceleration means speeding up so it must be positive.
