Velocity is the change of speed and/or direction of an object?

FALSE. Acceleration is the change of speed and/or direction of an object.


Velocity is the change of speed andor direction of an object?

Not exactly. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.If either speed or direction changes, then the change is the object's 'acceleration'.


When you know both the speed and direction of an object's while it is in motion do you know the acceleration of the object?

No. For you to know acceleration you need the rate of change of speed and the direction.


Can an object be moving if acceleration is zero?

Yes. Acceleration is defined as a change of speed and/or direction of motion. If the speed and direction of motion are constant, then there is no acceleration.


What is the defintion of acceleration?

Acceleration is any change in the speed and/or the direction of an object's motion.


Is acceleration a change in the position of an object?

Yes. Acceleration is a change in velocity. As velocity is a vector (direction and speed) changing either the speed or direction will change the velocity and thus be an acceleration (or decelleration)


A change in speed or direction?

A change in speed or direction is caused by a force and is called acceleration.


What kind of motion does the speed and direction not change?

Acceleration in motion refers to a change in speed or direction of that object's motion. So a type of motion in which speed and direction do not change is a motion in which the acceleration is constant (i.e. unchanging).


Velocity is the change of speed and direction of an object?

No. Velocity is the present speed and direction of motion.If speed or direction changes, then that's 'acceleration'.


What causes a change in acceleration and velocity?

Acceleration is the change in velocity and/or What_three_ways_can_acceleration_change_an_objects_motionof an object. Acceleration can either speed an object up, slow it down (deceleration), or change the direction in which the object is moving.


Acceleration is a change in speed or?

Acceleration is the change in an ogjects speed or a change in an objects direction of motion or both of these. If instead of speed you use the word velocity , which is both an object's speed and its direction of motion, then you could say "acceleration is the change in an objects velocity" and that would cover all the possibilities in one statement.


Is it true or false that acceleration can only occur when the speed of an object changes?

No. Acceleration is change of velocity. It occurs when an object changes speed and/or direction.
