Question
a bus approaching a bus stop * 1 point
will have ....
average acceleration.
instantaneous acceleration
negative acceleration
uniform acceleration.
! this is a required question
When a bus approaches a bus stop, it slows down. Acceleration is negative when an object's speed decreases (velocity and acceleration act in opposite directions). The other options are not specific to this scenario: average acceleration describes overall change over time, instantaneous acceleration is at a single moment, and uniform acceleration means constant rate of speed change, which isn't implied here.
