1) If a car is slowing down, it is accelerating. 2) To find the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line, you must calculate the change in DISTANCE for each unit of time. 3) A car is turning at a constant speed of `5\ m//s`, It is NOT accelerating? 4) Acceleration and velocity are always in same direction. 5) If velocity is 0 then acceleration is 0 too. 6) An object that is accelerating is moving fast. 7) An object that is moving upwards and slowing down has an upwards acceleration.
