Yes; if the direction changes (for instance, if an object moves in a circle), even if its speed doesn't change, its velocity changes. This is because the term "velocity" also includes the direction.

Acceleration is the change of velocity?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. It can be positive, negative, or zero depending on whether the velocity is increasing, decreasing, or remaining constant. The unit of acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s^2).


What is the change in velocity other than speed what else?

change in velocity can also occur with change in direction as it is a vector with speed and direction; so a satellite may have constant speed but remaining in orbit has a centripetal acceleration; its direction is changing.


Which term explains wheather an objects velocity has increased or decreased over time?

Acceleration (a=v/t where a=acceleration, v=velocity and t=time; or Average acceleration= Δv/Δt, where Δv is the change in velocity and Δt is the change in time) shows the rate of change in velocity over time.If Acceleration (a) is positive, it means that velocity has increased over time and if it is negative, it implies the velocity has decreased over time [also commonly known as deceleration(-a)]

How do you calculate the change in velocity of an object?

To calculate the change in velocity of an object, you subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity. The formula is: Change in velocity Final velocity - Initial velocity.


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".


What is the range of change of velocity?

The range of change of velocity is determined by the final velocity minus the initial velocity. It represents the magnitude and direction of the change in velocity of an object.


Is there an acceleration when an object traveling at constant velocity and why?

No, there is no acceleration when an object is traveling at a constant velocity. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity is constant, there is no change and therefore no acceleration.


The change in an object velocity?

The change in an object's velocity is determined by its acceleration. If the object's acceleration is positive, its velocity increases; if it is negative, the velocity decreases. The larger the acceleration, the quicker the change in velocity will be.


What term explains wheather an objects velocity has increased or decreased over time?

You're fishing for "acceleration", but your description doesn't support that answer.Acceleration is also present if the direction of motion has changed, even if the speed(the size of velocity) hasn't changed.


How to find the change in velocity in a given scenario?

To find the change in velocity in a given scenario, subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity. The change in velocity is the difference between the two velocities.
