Can acceleration and velocity be the same?

No. Velocity is the change of location and accelarion is any change that occurs to the velocity of an object.


Can an object be accelerating if it has a constant velocity?

No. The definition of 'acceleratiion' is 'any change in velocity'.


When does a force change the velocity of an object?

If the object is in free-space, and any force applied over a period of time will change the velocity of an object. Force = mass * acceleration. Acceleration = velocity / time. Therefore, Force = mass * velocity/time.


Is it possible that body is moving with constant velocity but force acting on it is zero?

Yes, in fact, it is necessary. If any net force acts on an object, the velocity will change.Yes, in fact, it is necessary. If any net force acts on an object, the velocity will change.Yes, in fact, it is necessary. If any net force acts on an object, the velocity will change.Yes, in fact, it is necessary. If any net force acts on an object, the velocity will change.


Rate of change of the velocity of an object?

The change in velocity is just the change in velocity. The RATE of change of velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is usually called "acceleration".


How does the centripetal force cause an object to change in motion?

Any net force will change an object's velocity. In the case of a centripetal force, it changes the direction of the movement, and therefore its velocity.


What is the force that causes the velocity of an object to change?

Any force causes the velocity of an object to change, as long as it is not exactly compensated by one or a group of other forces that exactly cancel its influence.


Can two direction of velocity of an object change when acceleration is constant?

An object can have only one velocity at any point in time. That velocity can have components in two (or more) directions.If acceleration is constant (but non-zero), then the velocity in any direction other than perpendicular to the direction of the acceleration must change.


Can two directions of velocity of an object change when acceleration is constant?

An object can have only one velocity at any point in time. That velocity can have components in two (or more) directions.If acceleration is constant (but non-zero), then the velocity in any direction other than perpendicular to the direction of the acceleration must change.


If something has a change in motion it has what?

For any object to change its motion, it must be accelerated and experiences acceleration. Note that a change in motion is a change in velocity. The object either speeds up, slows down or changes direction, and one of those or some combination is a velocity change. Only acceleration will change velocity. We need to offer the reminder that velocity is speed with a direction vector attached to it. An object can travel at a constant speed and be changing direction. This is a change in velocity because of the change of direction. And a change in velocity is, as stated, initiated by acceleration.


What is change in the speed of an object?

A change in the velocity is produced by a force acting on the object. A change in velocity means a change in speed or direction (or both).


What kind force moves an object away?

By definition, any force enacts a change in momentum. Momentum is mass times velocity, so a force is a change in mass and/or velocity. Since mass is usually constant, any force therefore enacts a change in velocity, and thus moves an object away.
