Question

A rocket ship leaves Earth's atmosphere. Its initial velocity is less than its final velocity. What is this an example of?

deceleration
negative acceleration
positive accelertion
velocity

Answer 1

I believe this would be an example of positive acceleration as the initial velocity of the rocket is less than the final velocity, indicating that the rocket is accelerating and thus is positive.

Answer 2

The correct answer among all the other choices is positive acceleration. When a rocket ship leaves Earth's atmosphere, its initial velocity is less than its final velocity, this is an example of positive acceleration. Thank you for posting your question.
