No. Velocity is the present speed and direction of motion.

If speed or direction changes, then that's 'acceleration'.

Velocity is the change of speed andor direction of an object?

Not exactly. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.If either speed or direction changes, then the change is the object's 'acceleration'.


Velocity is the change of speed and/or direction of an object?

FALSE. Acceleration is the change of speed and/or direction of an object.


What is change in the speed of an object?

A change in the velocity is produced by a force acting on the object. A change in velocity means a change in speed or direction (or both).


In what three ways can accelerationchange an object's motion?

Acceleration is the change in velocity and/or direction of an object. Acceleration can either speed an object up, slow it down (deceleration), or change the direction in which the object is moving.


When an object's speed changes does it's velocity also change?

yes, speed is velocity with a direction


If you exert a force on an object in motion what will change?

If you exert a force on an object in motion you will change its velocity, velocity being a vector quantity of speed and direction.


If you change the velocity of a moving object you change the?

Speed or direction or both.


When the direction of an object changes what happens to it's velocity?

A change in the direction of motion IS a change of velocity,even if the speed doesn't change.


The speed of an object and the direction of its motion?

the object's 'velocity'


Is acceleration a change in the position of an object?

Yes. Acceleration is a change in velocity. As velocity is a vector (direction and speed) changing either the speed or direction will change the velocity and thus be an acceleration (or decelleration)


What is the name given to the change in speed and or direction of an object?

Velocity


Any change in the velocity of an object is a?

A Vector, as it has direction and speed.
