'Velocity' means the rate at which position changes, and the direction in which it changes. 'Acceleration' means the rate at which velocity changes, and the direction in which it changes.


What changes if somethings speed or direction changes?

If an object's speed changes, it means that it is either speeding up or slowing down. If an object's direction changes, its velocity changes as well, as velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. These changes in speed and direction are typically caused by forces acting on the object.

What changes if someones speed or direction changes?

If someone's speed changes, it means they are moving faster or slower than before. If someone's direction changes, it means they are now moving in a different path or route. Both changes can affect the individual's position, velocity, and acceleration.


How can velocity change without changing the speed?

Consider velocity as consisting of a speed, and a direction. If any of the two changes - that is, if either the speed or the direction changes - then the velocity changes.


What changes in motion can result in a changes in velocity?

Any change in motion (direction or speed) is a change in velocity.Velocity is a vector quantity which means that it has a magnitude and a direction.
