No. Acceleration is change of velocity. It occurs when an object changes speed and/or direction.

Acceleration occur when velocity changes?

Only the acceleration brings a change in velocity.


When does acceleraion occur?

Acceleration occurs when there is unbalanced force applied to an object.


The change of the velocity of an object divided by the time for the change to occur?

That's a pretty good definition of the object's "acceleration".


Measurement of the change in the velocity of an object divided by the time it takes for this change to occur is?

Acceleration.


Is it true that changes happen to boys and girls occur in all dimensions?

false


An object will have constant acceleration if?

well, something has to be pushed by a constantly growing force. Constant acceleration would occur for example if you drop something in a vacuum. Dropping something in normal circumstances is a nearly constant acceleration too.


Why does change in velocity happen?

When velocity changes, that means that the object either moves faster, or moves slower, or moves in a different direction. Any of these changes is called "acceleration". A force is necessary to cause it.


It is possible to accurately predict when changes will occur in the economy?

If Ur taking FLVS, Its FALSE!! I put true and got it wrong, so its False!!


Does Emrobyology concerns the strucural changes that occur in an individual form conception through old age?

Does a change in motion occur only if a net force is exerted on an object?

No. Changes in motion can occur in other ways. A change in motion can occur if that object exerts a net force on another object, like another ball on a billiard table. The object could also bump into an immovable object and its motion would change.


When does the velocity of an object change?

When its speed changes, when it turns changing its direction of travel or when both occur.


What do you call the motion of an object with a constant acceleration?

Free fall. Airbus has built aircrafts that may dive with an acceleration of 9.81 m/s2 to simulate zero gravity. satellites are technically in a constant free fall. A world where no friction would occur would lead to constant acceleration as long as the force acting on the object stays the same.
