Which term describes an increase or decrease in velocity or a change in direction?
acceleration
What can you do to accelerate an object faster if you can not increase the force?
Force is mass x acceleration so in order to increase the acceleration without increasing the force, you must decrease the mass.
The rate of change in the speed of an object is called?
Acceleration, it can be both increase and decrease in speed. .
Does acceleration either decrease constantly or increase constantly?
No, in basic physics acceleration depends on Newton's Second Law Net Force equals mass times acceleration
What is the rate in change of velocity called?
The increase in velocity is called acceleration and an decrease is called deceleration.
Does air resustance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling abject?
Decrease.
What two ways can you increase the acceleration of an object?
U can increase and decrease it
When a body undergoes an acceleration does its speed increase or decrease?
Both. Acceleration is a change in speed.
Can acceleration change with out increase or decrease speed?
yes the 3 types of acceleration are increased speed decrease speed or change in direction.
What are two to increase the acceleration of an object?
Decrease the mass, and change the force.
Which term describes an increase or decrease in velocity or a change in direction?
acceleration
Does air resistance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling obect?
Well, the more the air resistance, the lower the acceleration.
Why is retardation called negative acceleration?
retardation is nothing but the decrease in speed. so if the increase in speed can be taken as positive then for sure decrease in speed can be taken as negative acceleration.
What are the two ways to increase acceleration of an object?
Decrease the mass, and change the force.
How are deceleration and acceleration related?
Acceleration and deceleration are related by their their sign. Acceleration is positive ( increase in velocity with time) and deceleration is negative (decrease in velocity with time).
What happens to the acceleration of an object if you increase the force of an object?
From Newton's Second Law of Motion, I know that Fnet=manet. anet is the net acceleration. From this equation, I know that Fnet is proportional to anet. THis means that if I decrease the net force, I decrease the net acceleration. If I increase the net force, I increase the net acceleration. If your Fnet equation is Fnet=Fapp-Ff, then increasing the applied force would also increase the net acceleration. Therefore, more applied fore, more acceleration.
What can you do to accelerate an object faster if you can not increase the force?
Force is mass x acceleration so in order to increase the acceleration without increasing the force, you must decrease the mass.
