This is an object's change in motion per unit time in a specified direction?

The phrase "change in motion" is rather slippery.
The size of the change in the object's position, per unit time, in a specified
direction, is the component of its velocity in that direction.
The size of the change in the object's velocity, per unit time, in a specified
direction, is the component of its acceleration in that direction.

The resistance of an object to a change in the speed or the direction of its motion?

The defention of inertia?
Inertia is the tendency of all objects to resist change in motion.
How does inertia work?
It is exactly the same as momentum and covered by Newton's first law of motion. Inertia is a way of expressing the force required to get an object to move from rest, or the force required to change the velocity or direction of an object in motion. Anything that has mass will have inertia - a "resistance to move or change velocity or direction of motion".
What are the forces around you?
Forces are pushes or pulls. They can start objects moving, they can stop,speed up, slow down, or change the direction of moving objects. They can lift things, or cause them to turn, bend or twist. They can also prevent motion; eg. a handbrake on a car stops it from rolling down the hill.
What describes the motion of an object where there is no change in speed or direction?
Equilibrium describes any state where the acceleration and net force are zero. This means that the velocity will not change.
Is velocity a change in an objects motion?
Velocity is a change in an object's motion OR direction of motion.
Do objects in motion always change position and may change direction?
Objects in motion continuously change position.To change direction, a force needs to act upon them.
What must be applied to a objects in order change the objects motion or direction?
A Force.
What is a force that causes an object to change its motion?
I think this question is not phrased very well. Any force can change objects velocity (speed+direction). If fact that is the definition of the force - F=ma any force, by definition itself, can change objects velocity. Maybe you meant what force can change objects direction of motion? In that case - any force that has a different direction (not the same as direction of motion) Any force can change an object's motion.
What are the forces that result in no change in an objects. Motion?
Forces that are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction and acting on the same object will not create a change in said objects motion.
How does gravity keep objects in motion?
It doesn't. It will change an objects direction and/or speed but its inertia that keeps it moving.
An unbalanced force will not change an objects motion?
If the forces on an object are unbalanced then the objects motion will change. It will start accelerating in the direction of the resultant force. Only objects that have balanced forces will remain in the same motion (stationary or moving at a constant speed).
Acceleration is a change in speed or?
Acceleration is the change in an ogjects speed or a change in an objects direction of motion or both of these. If instead of speed you use the word velocity , which is both an object's speed and its direction of motion, then you could say "acceleration is the change in an objects velocity" and that would cover all the possibilities in one statement.
When you both the speed and direction of an objects motion you know the objects?
translatory motion
What term is defined as change in an objects position over time without including direction?
Motion is the change in an object's position without including direction.
What term is defined as the change in an objects positions over time without including direction?
Motion is the change in an object's position without including direction.
How do balanced and unbalanced forces compare?
unbalanced same balanced doesn't = 0 push or pull netforce = 0 change an have direction doesn't change motion objects motion
