In order to understand the possible cause of a 'right side stomach pain', it may be helpful to know the organs and structures that exist in this region of the body. Diseases, infections, or irritation of any of these organs will lead to a right side abdominal pain.
At that one instant, its velocity is zero, even though its acceleration is still 9.8 m/secÂ². But velocity cannot REMAIN at zero for any length of time if the acceleration is nonzero.
If it were slowing down, the acceleration would be negative. Now give a reason why a smart student might think the cartâs acceleration during that segment of the motion is negative. Briefly summarize the reasoning. The velocity is still going âdown,â as the velocity graph shows. Also, motion towards the detector âflipsâ the sign of the velocity, so it makes sense that it would also âflipâ the sign of the acceleration.
