There is basically only ONE thing that can make a velocity change, and that is a force acting on an object.

What describes velocity?

two things that describe velocity is distance and time.


What two things can change in velocity do?

motion and the angle


What two things do you need to find an objects velocity?

Change in position and change in time velocity= delta displacement/delta time


How many types of velocity?

Velocity can either increase or decrease. It can do so at either an increasing or decreasing rate (positive or negative acceleration)


What is the inertia of motion?

Inertia of motion is the resistance mass has to motion. It also is the resistance in change in momentum. Momentum includes two things: velocity and direction. When an object changes its velocity, the momentum of the object resists the change. Also, when an object does change its velocity, its momentum is directly changed. In general, the inertia of motion is matter's unwillingness to change velocity or momentum.


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".


Under what circumstances can an object move in a circular path without being accelerated?

It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.


What causes a spaceshuttle to change in velocity by change in direction?

A change in velocity constitutes a change in direction because velocity includes direction.


What is the acceleration between t equals 0 and t equals 3?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity; without knowing the change in velocity between t=0 and t=3, the acceleration cannot be worked out.


If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?

"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.


What is a change in velocity in given period of time?

Change in velocity = Velocity at the end of the period minus velocity at the start of the period.


Is Velocity any change in motion?

Yes. Acceleration is a change in velocity; velocity is a change in speed and or direction. I am not sure what motion means in a technical sense (velocity?).
