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 happens to the speed of a moving object when it accelerates?
An object is accelerating if any of these things are happening . . .-- its speed is increasing-- its speed is decreasing-- its direction is changing.The object may be accelerating even if its speed isn't changing.Acceleration does not mean "speeding up".
What is an example of an accelerating object but moves in a constant speed?
An accelerating object is one that is changing in either speed or direction. Thus any object that is turning is accelerating while maintaining a constant speed.
Which can occur when an object is accelerating?
The object's velocityi will change.
When forces do not balance the object will be?
Accelerating

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.
The condition of an object such that it is not accelerating is?
In a constant state of motion (which may actually be stationary).

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.
When forces do not balance the object will be?
Accelerating
An object cannot be accelerating if it has a constant speedtrue or false?
An object with a constant (vector)velocity is not accelerating. An object with a constand (scalar)speed can actually be accelerating, a car with a constant speed that passes around a corner is changing direction and is subjected to a lateral acceleration.
If the force acting upon an object are balanced then the object Amust not be moving Bmust be miving with constant velocity Cmust not be accelerating Dnone of these?
If the force acting upon an object are balanced then the object must not be accelerating
When an object increases in speed what does the accleration vector do?
An object with an increasing speed is in fact accelerating, hence the acceleration vector may be continually changing (but >0) with time.
