When is an object not accelerating?

An object is not accelerating when it is moving in a straight line at an unchanging speed (which may be zero).


What type of changes in motion might an object experience if it were accelerating?

An object that is accelerating may slow down, speed up, or change direction.


Which object is accelerating?

An object is accelerating if its velocity is changing.


What happens to the speed of an object that is accelerating?

The speed may, or may not, change. Acceleration means that the velocity changes; this means that either the speed changes, or the direction.


The condition of an object such that it is not accelerating is?

In a constant state of motion (which may actually be stationary).


Can an accelerating object have zero speed?

No, an accelerating object cannot have zero speed. Acceleration is the rate at which the speed of an object changes over time. If an object is accelerating, its speed is increasing or decreasing, but it cannot be zero.


Which can occur when an object is accelerating?

When an object is accelerating, it can experience changes in velocity, either speeding up or slowing down. Additionally, the object can also experience a change in direction as it accelerates. The forces acting on the object may also change in magnitude and direction.


How do you find the average speed of an accelerating object?

To find the average speed of an accelerating object, you can calculate the average speed by taking the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. However, note that the average speed may not accurately represent the motion of an accelerating object as it changes speed over time.


If an object is not accelerating, then one knows for sure that it is what?

If an object is not accelerating, then one knows for sure that it is moving at a constant speed.


What does the term balance mean?

If you add up all the forces acting on an object, they are balanced if they equal zero. (They cancel each other out). If the forces acting on a object are balanced, then the acceleration of that object is zero. It may still be moving, but it is not accelerating. An object that is not accelerating, (the sum of the forces acting on it is zero), is in equilibrium.


If final velocity is greater than initial velocity an object is?

Accelerating...or was accelerating.


How do you know an object is accelerating?

You can tell an object is accelerating if its velocity is changing, either in speed or direction. This can be observed by noticing a change in the object's position over time.
