Speed and Acceleration Relationships

The video tutorial explores the relationship between acceleration and velocity, focusing on how speed changes over time. It begins with a problem statement, followed by a diagrammatic explanation of direction. The tutorial then analyzes speed variation, concluding with an evaluation of multiple-choice options. The key takeaway is that speed increases when acceleration and velocity are in the same direction, even if acceleration decreases.

What are the initial conditions of the particle's velocity and acceleration?

• Velocity: +5 m/s, Acceleration: +1 m/s²

• Velocity: -5 m/s, Acceleration: +1 m/s²

• Velocity: +5 m/s, Acceleration: -1 m/s²

• Velocity: -5 m/s, Acceleration: -1 m/s²

What is the initial acceleration of the particle?

• 0.5 m/s²

• 1 m/s²

• 1.5 m/s²

• 2 m/s²

In which direction is the particle moving initially?

• Left

• Right

• Up

• Down

When do speed and acceleration increase together?

• When acceleration is zero

• When velocity is zero

• When they are in the same direction

• When they are in opposite directions

What is the effect of a positive acceleration on velocity?

• It decreases velocity

• It increases velocity

• It reverses the direction of velocity

• It has no effect on velocity

How does the speed change when both velocity and acceleration are positive?

• Speed becomes zero

• Speed increases

• Speed decreases

• Speed remains constant

How does the speed change when acceleration decreases but remains positive?

• Speed remains constant

• Speed decreases

• Speed increases at an increasing rate

• Speed increases at a decreasing rate

If acceleration is reduced from 1 m/s² to 0.5 m/s², what happens to the speed?

• Speed increases at the same rate

• Speed decreases

• Speed remains constant

• Speed increases but at a slower rate

What happens to speed when acceleration and velocity have opposite signs?

• Speed increases

• Speed decreases

• Speed remains constant

• Speed becomes zero

What is the relationship between acceleration and velocity for speed to decrease?

• Acceleration must be zero

• Velocity must be zero

• They must be in opposite directions

• They must be in the same direction
