I need some negative acceleration help. I know that negative acceleration does not mean that the object is slowing down. However, there is a negative acceleration when the slope of the velocity vs. time graph is negative. Except, when there is this negative slope, the velocity is getting lower. So, even though the velocity is getting lower, is it negatively accelerating?
I am confused. Because how can the object not be slowing down when there is negative acceleration? How does it relate to the ball rolled up an incline? If the ball is rolling back down the plank, the velocity is negative, so is the acceleration negative because the velocity is negative?
Thanks
