MCQ

Is it possible for an object's velocity to increase while its acceleration decreases?

A
No, this is impossible because of the way in which acceleration is defined.
B
No, because if acceleration is decreasing the object will be slowing down.
C
No, because velocity and acceleration must always be in the same direction.
D
Yes, an example would be a falling object in a viscous medium, where the acceleration continuously decreases but velocity increases until a certain point.
