If an object's velocity changes -- if its speed increases or decreases or if its direction changes -- that means it has accelerated. For an object to accelerate, the sum of the forces acting upon it must be non-zero. So, in other words, forcechanges an object's velocity.

What are Velocity and Force?
Velocity: the rate of change of position. Force:what causes a mass to accelerate 7 types of force:strong, electromagnetic,weak, and gravitational
How do you change a velocity joint in a 1996 Chevy Corsica?
The Rate of Change of velocity is - acceleteration
What is the rate change in velocity?
The rate of change in velocity is known as acceleration.
Are velocity and acceleration both rates of change?
yes, velocity is a change in distance with time, and acceleration is a change in velocity with time.
Why does velocity represents rate of change of displacement?
Because that is the definition of velocity
What causes the change in velocity?
Any force causes acceleration i.e. change in velocity.
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 control causes a change in volocity?
A resultant force causes a change in velocity.
What is the force that causes the velocity of an object to change?
Any force causes the velocity of an object to change, as long as it is not exactly compensated by one or a group of other forces that exactly cancel its influence.
What can forces cause a change in?
A force causes an acceleration. That implies that it will change: * The velocity, and * The momentum.
How do forces cause a change in an object's momentum?
A force acting on a body causes acceleration. Acceleration is measure of the rate of change in the object's velocity. As its velocity changes, its momentum, which is the product of its mass and velocity, will change.
How is the initial velocity zero but the acceleration is not?
Going back to definitions, Velocity is change of distance with time; and acceleration is change in velocity with time. Initially, the velocity is zero, as is the acceleration, BUT the Force of Gravity attracts the falling mass, and causes velocity to appear. But the continued application of the Force of Gravity causes the velocity to increase. And as we know, increase in velocity is acceleration. [space for QED]
What is the force that causes a change of velocity when acting on an object?
Opposing force
Why is an object traveling in a circular motion?
acceleration is change in velocity.. and velocity constantly changes in circular motion, as the direction constantly changes. This constant change in velocity causes the object to accelerate.
What control causes a change in velocity?
The gas pedal, the brake pedal, and the steering wheel all do.
How is friction a force?
Due to friction velocity of a body gets reduced, reduction in velocity causes change in velocity. This change in velocity leads to production of acceleration.(Because only acceleration can produce change in velocity either its direction or its magnitiude). And only a force can cause the acceleration hence friction is a force.
