With the help of daily life examples, describe the situations in which: a. Acceleration is in the direction of motion. b. Acceleration is against the direction of motion. c. Acceleration is zero and the body is in motion.

In daily life, there are several instances of acceleration in different directions. a. Acceleration in the direction of motion occurs when a car accelerates along a straight road, increasing its speed. b. Acceleration against the direction of motion happens when a car brakes to slow down, resulting in negative acceleration. c. Acceleration is zero and the body is in motion when a car moves at a constant speed on a straight road. In this case, the velocity remains unchanged, and there is no change in the car’s speed, meaning there is no acceleration acting on it.
