Does change in direction cause acceleration?

Not necessarily. Changing direction does affect the velocity, which is acceleration and direction combined.


How does the direction of acceleration affect the directions of motion?

The acceleration will either speed up or slow down an object's motion in the direction it is applied. Any change in speed or direction is considered acceleration.


How does acceleration affect motion in the same direction?

It will increase the velocity of the the object in which the acceleration is applied.


How do you work out the deceleration?

Same as acceleration - just remember that "deceleration" is an acceleration in a direction opposite to the direction of movement.Same as acceleration - just remember that "deceleration" is an acceleration in a direction opposite to the direction of movement.Same as acceleration - just remember that "deceleration" is an acceleration in a direction opposite to the direction of movement.Same as acceleration - just remember that "deceleration" is an acceleration in a direction opposite to the direction of movement.


How do unbalanced forces affect objects?

An unbalanced force will cause acceleration in the direction of the force.


How does friction affect movement of object?

Friction provides a force, and therefore an acceleration, in the opposite direction of motion.


What is acceleration since it has magnitude and direction?

Acceleration is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.


How does a negative or positive acceleration affect motion?

It can change the direction of motion or it can speed up or slow down an object.


What is the direction of instantaneous acceleration?

The acceleration can be in any direction; it depends on the specific situation.


Why at a constant speed if an object changes its direction it is considered to be acceleration?

Acceleration is a direction plus a speed. If either changes then the acceleration changes.


Can the velocity of object reverse direction when its acceleration is constant?

yes, if the acceleration is in the opposite direction of the velocity.


What is the rate at which speed or direction changes?

Acceleration
