Let's review some terms before we tackle this one. Speed is displacement per unit of time. We know 60 miles per hour is a speed. Velocity is speed with a direction vector associated with it. We know 60 miles per hour east is velocity. Acceleration is a change in velocity. That means if an object changes its speed or its direction or both, it is accelerating.
If an object has a given velocity and it slows down or speeds up, it is accelerated. But if the same object changes direction without a change in speed, it is still experiencing acceleration. A force had to act on the object to change its direction, even though its speed didn't change. Thus, an object can accelerate even though it does not change speed.
What else can I help you with?
Which is not a way to accelerate an object?
One way to not accelerate an object is by trying to reduce its speed. In physics, a change in speed or in direction is called acceleration. One way not to accelerate an object is to change its name.
Can an object accelerate and have a constant speed at the same time?
No, an object cannot accelerate and have a constant speed at the same time. Acceleration is a change in velocity, which includes speed or direction. If an object has a constant speed, it means there is no acceleration occurring.
What changes can a force produce in the motion of an object?
it is speed of motion and direction of motion
What are the 3 things forces can do when acting on an object?
Change the Direction, Change the Speed and Change the Shape :)
What can an unbalanced force cause an object to do?
An unbalanced force can cause an object to accelerate in the direction of the force, change its speed, or change its direction of motion. This is in accordance with Newton's first law of motion.
How could an object accelerate was still traveling at a constant speed?
An object can accelerate while still traveling at a constant speed if it changes direction. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so even if the speed remains constant, a change in direction would still require acceleration.
What is needed to change the speed of an object?
To change the speed of an object, you need to apply a force to it. The magnitude of the force and the direction in which it is applied will determine how the speed changes. If the force is in the same direction as the motion, the object will accelerate; if the force opposes the motion, the object will decelerate.
What is an object speed and direction?
in terms of speed and direction , in what ways can an object accelerate
How does an unbalanced force change speed and direct an object?
An unbalanced force acting on an object can change its speed and direction. If the force is greater than the opposing forces, such as friction or air resistance, the object will accelerate in the direction of the force. The greater the unbalanced force, the greater the change in speed and direction of the object.
What is an force that can cause an object to change its speed and direction.?
A basic physics answer for this is that a net force (or unbalanced force) will cause an object to accelerate, that is, cause the object to change its speed and/or direction.
In terms of speed and direction in what way can an object accelerate?
an object can accelerate both up and down
What indicates that an object is unbalanced?
If forces on an object are unbalanced, it will accelerate (its velocity will change). If torques are unbalanced, it will start to rotate - or more precisely, its speed of rotation will change.
