You know that a car is accelerating because you will be pulled in a direction opposite the force that is accelerating the car. This is Newton's Third Law: "For every force, there is an equal and opposite force".

What key words tell you the object is accelerating?

Changing speed.


What is a line sloping upwards on a speed time graph tell us?

The object is accelerating


What does a curved line on a distance vs time graph tell you?

The object is accelerating or decelerating in the radial direction.


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).


An object that is accelerating may be?

An object that is accelerating may be slowing down, gaining speed, and changing direction.


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.


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


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.


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
