Question

a northward - moving race car is slowing down. what is the direction of the race cars acceleration? direction = -- (tap direction to change.) check answer

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the relationship between velocity and acceleration

When an object is slowing down, its acceleration is in the opposite direction of its velocity.

Step2: Determine the direction of acceleration

The race - car is moving northward (velocity direction is northward) and it is slowing down. So, the acceleration direction is opposite to the velocity direction.

Answer:

Southward
