Does greater speed mean greater acceleration?
Answer to Problem 5Q
Solution:
No
Explanation of Solution
No, it is not necessary that an object with greater speed will have greater acceleration. It will depend upon the different conditions such as how the two objects have started or at what time we have observed them or the displacement in between the two objects.
Further, it can be explained by considering the first object moving with a greater constant speed which means at zero acceleration while the second object which is moving with less speed and is gaining speed is, therefore, having much greater acceleration than the first object. Thus, it is not necessary that object with greater speed will have greater acceleration.
